On January 15, 2024, Netflix added all seasons of Friday Night Dinner to their streaming platform. The news comes as a surprise for the fans, who have been unable to stream the sitcom on the platform since 2021, ever since it was removed.
The show has experienced its fair share of turbulence after being repeatedly added and removed from the OTT platform over the years. However, fans of the show came in for a treat last Monday when the show was added to the streaming platform.
Is Friday Night Dinner on Netflix?
The iconic British Television sitcom Friday Night Dinner is back on Netflix with all its six seasons. However, there is a catch. At present, the show is only available for streaming in the UK.
As of now, it is unclear when the series will be made available to the rest of the world. However, you can watch the show outside of the UK using a VPN.
The show was created and written by Robert Popper and directed by Steve Bendelack, Martin Dennis, and Robert Popper. The sitcom aired on Channel 4 in the UK, where it ran for six seasons before coming to an end on May 25, 2020. Netflix began airing the first season of the show only in 2013, two years after its actual release.
The show chronicles the everyday lives of the Goodman family, with a focus on their dinner table experience every Friday night. The plot revolves around five characters: Jackie Goodman (Tamsin Greig), Martin Goodman (Paul Ritter), Jonny Goodman (Paul Ritter), Adam Goodman (Simon Bird), and Jim Bell (Mark Heap).
