If you’re in New Zealand and want to watch Friends, you’ve got a few solid options:
- Neon (NZ): NEON carries full seasons of Friends. It’s a popular local streaming service in NZ, and you can watch the show there with a subscription. This is probably the most straightforward NZ option right now. [neon NZ presence: general availability and season availability]
- TVNZ+: TVNZ+ offers episodes of Friends, typically the complete series, accessible with a TVNZ+ account in NZ. This is a convenient NZ-based streaming route. [TVNZ+ availability: complete series]
- Other digital purchases: If you don’t mind buying or renting, platforms like Amazon Video (where available) and Apple TV, or Google Play sometimes offer individual seasons or episodes for NZ customers. This can be useful if you’re only after a specific season or episode. [NZ availability for digital purchases: Amazon/Apple/Google options]
- Netflix: A portion of Friends has appeared on Netflix in various regions, but NZ availability can change. If it’s currently listed in NZ, you can watch it with a Netflix subscription. [Netflix NZ availability note]
- Local notices: There have been discussions about streaming availability changing (including reports from NZ users about removals on some platforms). It’s a good idea to check the latest listings on your preferred NZ streaming guide. [NZ streaming updates note]
Tips to find exactly what you want:
- If you want the full series with minimal fuss, check Neon and TVNZ+ first, since they’re NZ-focused and typically offer the entire run.
- If you’re after a particular season, use the platform’s search to confirm season availability and whether it’s included in your subscription or requires an add-on or rental.
- If you’re temporarily abroad or want to compare catalogs, consider a legitimate streaming guide site for the latest NZ availability.
Would you like me to narrow this down to the best current option based on your subscription (for example, if you already have Neon or TVNZ+), or help you check live availability for a specific season right now?
