A trailer for Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy, a one-hour documentary that examines the tragic death of Friends star Matthew Perry and the criminal charges against five defendants, including two doctors and woman dubbed “Hollywood’s Ketamine Queen.”
“Hollywood is full of enablers. They really preyed on somebody vulnerable,” a voiceover argues in the trailer, referencing Perry’s public fight against addictions throughout his life.
The Hollywood actor was found by an assistant after drowning in his swimming pool’s hot tub at his Pacific Palisades home on October 28, 2023. A lethal dose of ketamine caused him to have cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office.
The Peacock doc features interviews with Morgan Fairchild, who played Perry’s mother on Friends, along with interviews with law enforcement experts and Hollywood insiders.
Perry’s assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, Erik Fleming and a doctor, Mark Chavez, earlier pleaded guilty to lesser charges during court dates.
Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy, directed by Robert Palumbo, is produced by ITN Productions. Executive producers are Ian Russell, Mike Griffiths and Palumbo.
