Though reports indicated that Friends would be taken off of Netflix starting January 1, 2019, it officially won’t be leaving the streaming service for over a full year.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, fans of the series began freaking out starting on Sunday night when the show’s Netflix page showed it would be leaving the service after December. However, as of Monday afternoon, this date was removed from the page, and Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos claimed that Friends’ departure was a rumor.
Prior to this being cleared up, a lot of fans were taking it hard on social media.
