IT HAS BEEN more than a decade since the cast of Friends graced television screens around the world.
The show – which aired for 10 seasons and finished in 2004 – left million of devastated fans in its wake.
Well now, 22 years after it was first broadcast, it looks like the cast will be reunited for a two-hour special.
This was confirmed by NBC yesterday evening at the Television Critics Association’s press tour which was making a stop in Pasadena.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the reunion will not be an episode but as part of a tribute to comedy director James Burrows, who helmed a number of Friends’ episodes.
However, if you’re looking forward to seeing Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer on screen again you might be left disappointed.
It looks like all of the cast members might not be appearing together.
In the past it has been rumoured that some of the cast have been reluctant to take part in a full reunion, and according to Buzzfeed, NBC’s chair of entertainment Bob Greenblatt isn’t making any promises.
“I’m hoping all six of them will be all in the same room at the same time, but I’m not sure if we can logistically pull that off,” he said.

How is it a reunion if the don’t appear on screen together???
Probably more $$$$$ they’re after. They all didn’t do so well in the film industry.
Well that’s just not true.. Jennifer Aniston (although not an Oscar winner) is one of the world’s biggest female leads..
On a similar note, The Beatles are having a reunion. Footage of all four member will be played on TV’s at the same time in a Liverpool studio. Billions of people are expected to witness this ‘tribute special’….
Jennifer Aniston was the fifth most successful actress in 2015.
She makes more money from advertising than making movies.
Jennifer Aniston didn’t make any movies in 2015…
Yawn zzzzzz
She was still the fifth highest paid actress in 2015 according to Forbes.
Who cares if they went onto be big movie stars or not. Friends was one of the best sitcoms TV has ever seen. There repeated all the time but it’s still funny and better than most of the crap that passes for comedy these days..
They’re not sure if they can logistically get them all in the same room? Can’t be that hard surely. Assume he means their egos are too big or it would cost too much.
Possibly their different filming schedules and the short notice might actually make it difficult for them all to be on the same set at the same time.
Least the Xfiles is making a comeback.. I think the new series starts in two weeks
Nobody wants to see a reunion, give the people what they want. A new season of ‘Joey’. One of the greatest spinoffs ever. Wasn’t sh!t at all.
If they can get Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamall to do a Star Wars, anythings possible. You just need to give them lots of $$$.
PIVEEEEEEEET!
Rachel monica pheobie you got to marry one, kiss one and kill one! Go!
You kill Phoebe and you marry Rachel
When ever I look back on old episodes now I’m always surprised at how hot Phoebe looked in retrospect. Her clothes did her no favours but she was a babe.
Could you not have dug up a picture of all 6 of them together? Where’s Jennifer Aniston?
Should have gone to spec savers!
Lisa kudrow!
… You mean Lisa Kudrow?
Christ yes…. Spec savers. Seen the blond hair and thought it was phoebe! Point still stands though. Phot of all of them!
Little known fact: all six cast members have never appeared in the same room together. Look back on the old episodes and see for yourself.
I never know if people are messing with these sort of comments, and by replying you look like an idiot. Anyway, that’s just not true. How many times did they all appear in the cafe together? Just the other day I saw an episode with all 6 in Monica’s apartment, someone knocked on the door (Rachel’s sister) and they all looked at each other as if to say who could it be we’re all here.
What a great idea….watch 10 seasons just to check whether these ego trippers appear together….would rather stick hot poker up my (expletive deleted)….
They were in the same room in the episode where Phoebe finds out she’s pregnant for one…
It’s not true. Almost every episode they appear in the same room together.
Then why don’t you?
Whoosh
Tweety, some more modern tv’s today have a screen at the back, and if you can gain access while the programme is on you can see behind the camera. On many occasions the full cast were seen in the same room
Oh no, now the song is going through my head!
Old friends….
So little wrong fact as it turns out.
Keep in mind this show was for people in their 20′s when it first aired in 1994. That means the fans of this show are in their late 40′s, early 50′s.
In other words, this is a show that mum and dad like. Cringe.
It will be interesting to see how many of them are still alive and what they’re doing now.
Heroine lol.
Or waking up in a shower as the last series was all a dream lol.
One thing leads to another, it might come back like the X Files, although the X Files would be better?
have your say
