It has been ten years since "Friends" wrapped up production, but Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Joey and Phoebe are now set to appear on Netflix beginning January 1, 2015.
Warner Bros. and Netflix made the said announcement on Wednesday.
Netflix announced, "Whether you're watching for the first time or have been a fan since the beginning, you can experience the complete series however and whenever you want. Who wouldn't love to spend New Year's Day with Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey?"

The whole 10 seasons, which totaled to 236 episodes, will be made available on the streaming subscription-based service.
The hit show, which became one of the most-watched American television shows of all time, was the springboard from which the careers of the once-relatively unknown cast members were launched.
The cast members of the show were Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow.
In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the show's premiere, as well as to announce the deal with Warner Bros., Netflix posted a music video of the show's theme song "I'll Be There For You" performed by the Rembrandts at the iconic local hangout, Central Park.
Previously, "Friends", which was chosen as one of TV Guide's 60 Best TV Series Of All Time, was only available in broadcast and cable television syndication in the United States.
The final episode of the much-loved series, which aired in 2004, was watched by 52.5 million viewers in the United States, making it the fourth most watched series finale in the history of television, as well as the most watched series episode of the decade.
The said agreement between Netflix and Warner Bros. was a strategic move to attract more subscribers as Time Warner's HBO also announced on Wednesday that it was gearing up to launch its own standalone streaming service.
