Eight unaired episodes of “Friends” spinoff series “Joey” are now available to watch in the U.S. for the very first time, nearly two decades after the show was canceled.

The episodes, the final eight of the show’s last season, were officially made available to stream this week. The entirety of the show’s run is now on the “Friends” YouTube page.

“Joey,” which ran on NBC for two seasons following the 10th and final season of “Friends,” followed Matt LeBlanc’s Joey Tribbiani as he moved to Los Angeles for his acting career. Andrea Anders, Paulo Costanzo, Jennifer Coolidge and Drea de Matteo co-starred in the series.

While the show was initially met with respectable ratings, it failed to capture the same attention as its predecessor and was abruptly canceled in 2006, in the middle of its second season. Its final eight episodes were left aired in the U.S., though they were broadcast by a number of international stations.

After the show ended, LeBlanc took some time off from acting.

“I did ‘Joey’ for two years, and that wasn’t received with the same success as ‘Friends’ was. The pressure was incredible,” he told the Hollywood Reporter in 2014. “There was just no way, it couldn’t perform like ‘Friends’ did. So when that was over, I said, ‘I’m going to take at least a year and not do anything,’ and that turned into six years. I was enjoying myself … I really didn’t think about work at all.”

LeBlanc eventually returned to small screens with Showtime’s “Episodes,” in which he played a fictionalized version of himself, and “Man with a Plan” on CBS.
