Why ‘Joey’ Didn’t Match Friends’ Success

The key to the spin-off’s shortcomings is the change, and maturation, of Joey from a fun, confident friend to a struggling actor navigating challenges in his career and with women in this series. Family members are introduced which changed the cast dynamics leaving fans wanting to see the original cast making Joey less popular than Friends.

Connection Between Friends and Joey Spinoff

Joey is the only official spinoff of Friends, and it continues the journey of Joey Tribbiani after the original series ended in 2004. Using a Friends poster fits perfectly because the new viewers coming for nostalgia will instantly recognise the character. The release of the final episodes brings fans back into the familiar Friends universe, even though the story takes place in Los Angeles.
