“Friends: The Reunion Special” has broken viewership records at Sky One, becoming the network’s most watched show ever with more than 5.3 million tuning in to see the one-off special, which was available exclusively on Sky and its Now streaming service in the region.
The special now stands as Sky’s most watched program across live, recorded and downloaded viewing from the past two years. “Friends: The Reunion” is second to only “Game of Thrones” for the largest ever audience across Sky’s entire portfolio of entertainment channels and for the most-watched piece of content in its first 24 hours from launch on Now.
In further evidence of the show’s sustained popularity, the reunion special now stands alone as the best organic performing content across Sky and Now’s social channels as well, with the #FriendsReunion tag trending locally as well as globally on the day of launch.
