The sitcom Friends has 10 seasons.
The series began in 1994 and concluded in 2004, following the lives of its six principal characters in New York City. Each season contains episodes built around overlapping storylines involving romance, careers, family, and the friends’ shared social life.
Across those ten seasons, the show developed long-running relationships such as Ross and Rachel, Monica and Chandler, and Joey’s many dating stories. The final season brought the characters to major personal changes, including Ross and Rachel’s renewed relationship and Monica and Chandler’s move to the suburbs.
Viewers sometimes confuse the season count with the total number of episodes. Friends has ten seasons but 236 episodes. The reunion special, Friends: The Reunion, was released in 2021 and is not counted as an eleventh scripted season. It brought the cast together without continuing the original episodic storyline.
