Friends Spin-Off 'Joey' Final Episodes Finally Arrive in US
Hey everyone, some really exciting news for all the Friends fans out there—after nearly 20 years, the last episodes of the Friends spin-off, Joey , are finally available to watch in the United States. Yes, you heard that right. If you’ve been waiting to see how Joey Tribbiani’s adventures in Los Angeles wrapped up, now you can catch all eight of those long-lost episodes on the official Friends YouTube channel.
For a quick refresher, Joey premiered in 2004, just four months after Friends ended its legendary 10-season run on NBC. Matt LeBlanc returned as Joey Tribbiani, the lovable but often clueless actor we all grew to adore. The spin-off followed Joey as he moved to Los Angeles to pursue bigger acting opportunities. Along the way, he reunited with his sister Gina, played by Drea de Matteo, and his genius nephew Michael, portrayed by Paulo Costanzo. The cast also featured Andrea Anders as Joey’s complicated love interest Alex Garrett, Jennifer Coolidge as his quirky talent agent Bobbie, and Ben Falcone in supporting roles.

Interestingly, the pilot episode of Joey was watched by a solid 18.6 million viewers. But unfortunately, the ratings started to decline over time, averaging 10.2 million viewers in the first season and dropping to 7.1 million in the second. NBC tried shifting the show around in the schedule—from the iconic Thursday night slot it inherited from Friends to Tuesdays—but it wasn’t enough to save the series. By May 2006, after just two seasons, Joey was officially canceled, leaving those final eight episodes unaired in the U.S. International fans had the chance to see them, but American audiences were left hanging… until now.
The arrival of these episodes on YouTube has sparked a wave of nostalgia and gratitude among fans. Many have expressed heartfelt messages online, thanking the Friends YouTube team for finally giving them closure. Some fans even shared how rewatching Joey brought back laughter and comfort, and how they wished Matt LeBlanc and the rest of the cast could see the comments to realize how much the series was loved, despite its critics.
So, if you’ve ever wondered how Joey’s story in Los Angeles really ended, now is your chance to finally find out. After all these years, fans can revisit Joey’s quirky adventures, enjoy the chemistry of the cast, and give the character the farewell he truly deserved. It’s a little piece of TV history that’s been rescued from obscurity and made accessible to everyone, proving once again that Joey Tribbiani’s charm never truly goes out of style.
It’s a perfect moment to grab some popcorn, settle in, and finally say goodbye—or perhaps, see Joey one more time.
