After the closure of Friends in 2004, the main cast only had one full reunion before the special Friends: The Reunionreleased in 2021. The revelation was made by Lisa Kudrowinterpreter of Phoebe Buffay, during her appearance on the podcast Dinner’s On Mepresented by Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

Lisa shared that the one time she, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and the deceased Matthew Perry reunited after the series finale was about 10 years after the final episode. “It was at someone’s house, just the six of us, and it felt like we hadn’t missed a beat,” Kudrow said.

The sitcom ran for 10 seasons between 1994 and 2004. The final episode, watched by millions of people, is one of the most watched broadcasts in United States history. After that, the cast went their separate ways, focusing on individual projects, and the 2021 reunion marked the first time they appeared together in nearly two decades.

In 2024, Friends celebrated 30 years since its debut. Courteney Coxwho played Monica Geller, commented on the possibility of a reboot: “I can’t imagine a reboot that would work. I think anything related to ‘re’ with this group would be difficult. It was something very special”. Despite this, Cox highlighted how the series is still relevant: “Every joke is still fresh, the characters are incredible, and we had the best writers in the world.”
