In Friends, how many seasons were produced?

Friends was produced for 10 seasons.

The sitcom premiered on NBC in September 1994 and concluded in May 2004. Its ten-season run follows the lives, relationships, careers, and friendships of six main characters in New York City: Rachel Green, Ross Geller, Monica Geller, Chandler Bing, Joey Tribbiani, and Phoebe Buffay.

The show’s seasons generally aired from the fall into the following spring, with the final season consisting of 18 episodes. The series finale, “The Last One,” was broadcast as a special two-part event. Ten seasons is distinct from the show’s episode count: Friends produced 236 episodes overall. The reunion special Friends: The Reunion, released in 2021, is not an eleventh scripted season and does not change the original series’ ten-season total.
