What better way to mark the 25th anniversary of the iconic show Friends than with the announcement of an official reunion? Yes, you heard it right! The original cast, along with the creators, are gearing up for a reunion special in collaboration with HBO. Honestly, can we even contain our excitement?
According to The Hollywood Reporter, an unscripted reunion is in the works featuring the beloved cast members: Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer, along with series creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman. The news has true fans buzzing with anticipation. It’s like all the pieces of the puzzle are starting to fall into place. Remember when Jennifer Aniston made her Instagram debut with a nostalgic post of the entire crew? Our hearts are still fluttering from that moment!
And let’s not forget Courteney Cox’s recent Instagram post where she and Matthew Perry were seen enjoying lunch together, playfully captioned, “Guess who I had lunch with today….I KNOW!! Could I BE any happier? #realfriends.” Monica and Chandler forever!
While THR notes that the deal is still being finalized and schedules need to align (and let’s be honest, the financial side too), signs look promising. It’s hard not to wonder what kind of payday these friends will see, especially since back in 2004, they were each raking in over $1 million per episode. That was ages ago!
Interestingly, the cast had previously squashed fans’ hopes for a reunion many times. With reboots of classic sitcoms gaining popularity (think Will and Grace, Roseanne), it seemed Friends would remain untouched. Just last month, Jennifer Aniston dismissed the idea of a revival during her appearance on a talk show. However, she did leave us hanging with a hint: “We would love for there to be something, but we don’t know what that something is. So we’re just trying. We’re working on something.”
“Something” sounds way better than “nothing,” especially since the show is leaving Netflix soon. Come on, Rachel, let’s end this break already; you’re our lobster!
