The final 8 unaired episodes of the Friends spinoff series, Joey<\/a>, finally get a worldwide release after almost two decades.<\/p>\n

The series initially did very well and even got a second season. However, as the first season went on, the ratings slowly began to decrease. Eventually, NBC had to pull the show off the air before it could release all the episodes of <\/a>Joey<\/a>, with the second installment’s 8 episodes never seeing the light of day in the US. Fortunately for fans of the series, the remainder of the show can now be viewed online for free on Friends’ official YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

The spinoff first debuted on September 9, 2024. It followed Matt LeBlanc’s Joey Tribbiani<\/a> from New York City to Los Angeles in order to achieve his dream of becoming a famous actor in Hollywood. The series also starred Drea de Matteo (Gina), Paolo Costanzo (Michael), Andrea Anders (Alex), and Jennifer Coolidge (Bobby).<\/p>\n

While Joey season 2 didn’t air in the US, it did release in other countries. It got to air all of its existing episodes in Ireland and Brazil. The second installment also got a very limited DVD release in Canada.<\/p>\n

None of the main cast of the flagship show appeared in the spinoff. However, a few guest stars did show up in the series. Coolidge, who plays Joey’s agent, did have a cameo in Friends<\/a> as a friend of Monica (Courteney Cox) and Phoebe’s (Lisa Kudrow). Adam Goldberg, who played Chandler’s (Matthew Perry) temporary roommate Eddie, also made an appearance as Jimmy, his nephew’s father. The only character who reprised his original role was Robert Costanzo, who played LeBlanc’s character’s father, Joey Tribbiani Sr.<\/p>\n

All episodes of Joey are available to stream now on Friends’ official YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n
