Good news for Friends fans: you can now watch FRIENDS Spinoff Joey’s Final 8 Episodes for free!
After nearly 20 years, the long-lost conclusion to Joey Tribbiani’s story is finally out and available on YouTube, giving viewers in the U.S. and around the world a chance to see how his Hollywood journey ends.
Where to Stream the Final 8 Joey Episodes?
The Friends YouTube channel has released all 46 episodes of Joey, including the eight episodes that were never broadcast in the U.S.
The uploads started in March 2025, with two episodes released every Tuesday until the full series was available.
To watch, just go to the official Friends YouTube channel and look for the Joey playlist — all episodes, including the finale arc, are there.
What Happened to Joey After Friends Ended?
After Friends wrapped, Joey Tribbiani (played by Matt LeBlanc) moves from New York to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career.
In L.A., he reconnects with his sister Gina (Drea de Matteo), lives with his nephew Michael (Paolo Costanzo), and falls for his landlord Alex (Andrea Anders).
His agent is Bobbie, played by Jennifer Coolidge.
Why the Final 8 Episodes Were Never Aired in the U.S.?
The spin-off was cancelled by NBC in 2006 due to falling ratings, leaving the last eight episodes unaired in America.
Executive producer Kevin S. Bright later said that Joey’s character changed too much from his Friends persona — he became more “mopey” and directionless, which might have turned audiences away.
What the Unaired Episodes Cover
The final eight episodes wrap up major storylines:
- Joey’s budding romance with Alex
- A house-buying mishap for Joey
- Joey reconnecting with his father (Joey Sr.)
- Other personal and professional turning points as his L.A. life becomes more stable.
Why Fans Are Excited
- For Friends completists, this release is huge — it’s the first time U.S. viewers can legally see the full Joey story.
- Many fans welcomed the uploads as a long-awaited closure to Joey’s journey.
- And for those who never saw the spin-off before, it’s a nostalgic, bittersweet trip back into Joey’s life in Hollywood.
