The sudden passing of late American actor, Matthew Langford Perry, in 2023 broke the heart of his fans who have long known him to play the character Chandler Bing in Friends—a tragedy that left Hollywood in pieces. The sitcom icon, famous for his sarcastic portrayal of 'humor king' Chandler, won millions of hearts over time—not only because of his charming presence but also because he did justice to Marta Kauffman and David Crane's masterpiece creation.
The latest news on the upcoming film, A Hollywood Tragedy, documenting Perry's irreplaceable contribution to the industry, his final days, and tragic death has rekindled the dormant heap of emotions. As multiple sources have stated, A Hollywood Tragedy will start streaming on Peacock TV on February 25, 2025.
Late Friends star's documentary A Hollywood Tragedy to stream on Peacock soon
A Hollywood Tragedy on late Friends star Matthew Perry will be available for streaming on Peacock on February 25, 2025, and if you do not have a subscription, you can avail of packs worth $8 per month (ad-supported). For an ad-free subscription, the price is $14 per month. Robert Palumbo is the director of the project alongside Ian Russell and Mike Griffiths from ITN Productions, as per Deadline.
The synopsis of A Hollywood Tragedy, per Peacock, reads:
"On October 28th, 2023, the news that actor Matthew Perry was found dead at home in Los Angeles shocked the world. In his memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and The Big Terrible Thing,” he had told his story of battling addiction, and when ketamine was found in his system, it was thought by many that he had died from an overdose. Nearly a year later, a bombshell announcement from prosecutors: five people, including Perry's live-in personal assistant, two medical doctors, and an alleged Hollywood drug dealer known as "the Ketamine Queen" were charged with conspiracy to illegally provide Perry with ketamine. The special explores the case as two of the defendants, who have pleaded not guilty, await trial."
The documentary will not only leave details of the tragedy but will also take us back in time to Perry's moments on the set. His contribution to Friends will reportedly be portrayed through old clips from NBC's hit sitcom that premiered in 1994.
A Hollywood Tragedy will reportedly leave glimpses of the late star's struggle with substance use and how he tried to balance his personal life with his professional career—especially at the peak of fame. According to reports, Perry's initial cause of death was considered to be a result of Ketamine in his bloodstream.
But the tables turned with a breakthrough in an investigation last year after five individuals were convicted in connection with the passing of Matthew Perry. According to reports, Hollywood insiders will also play a major role in narrating the story alongside statements from law enforcement officials—Morgan Fairchild (who was cast as Perry aka Chandler's mother in Friends) will also leave insights on the case.
As per statements from U.S. Attorney, Martin Estrada, Ketamine was the cause of Matthew Perry's untimely passing. She further added that three of the accused have already pleaded guilty to their crimes thereby promising further co-operation on the case while the other two are yet to open up.
