It's official: Friends is moving from Netflix to WarnerMedia's streaming service – now officially called HBO Max
move from Netflix was expected after the streaming giant paid producers Warners $80 million-$100 million to continue to have the former NBC hit for all of 2019. The show will move to HBO Max when that deal expires at the start of 2020. WarnerMedia Entertainment Networks president Kevin Reilly stronglywould be pulled from Netflix and moved to the streaming platform when he noted that "it's not a good model to share.
Berlanti — who holds a TV record with 18 series on the air, including Kaley Cuoco vehicle The Flight Attendant for HBO Max — will produce four initial YA movies, while Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine banner will produce at least a pair of features for the service. “What I’ve always loved about creating shows that connect with a young audience is that these fans grow up with the programs and will remember them for the rest of their lives.
