Friendscatapulted its entire cast — includingJennifer Aniston,Matthew Perry,Matt LeBlancandDavid Schwimmer— to stardom.
The closest fans got to a full-on reunion was back in February 2016, whenthe cast gathered to honorFriendsdirector Jim Burrowsfor a television special. Most of the starsappeared in person to reminisce about working on the show with Burrows,but Perry, who sent a video message, was working from London at the time.
“We really just wanted to hang out with each other,” Aniston, 49, said of their instant friendship off screen. “We really just fell in love an adored each other instantly.”

Despite being close, fans hoping to see an on-screen reunion will likely be disappointed.
“I doubt it, I really doubt it,” Schwimmer, 51, said onMegyn Kelly Todayback in January. “Look, the thing is, I just don’t know if I want to see all of us with crutches [and] walkers.”
Kudrow also shot down the idea of a reunionfor similar reasonsduring a 2017 interview withSavannah GuthrieonToday.
“I don’t see [an official reunion] happening,” she admitted, adding that “we have convened, privately, for dinner, and it was great.”
“It would be fun, but what would it be about?” she asked. “Think about it. The thing we liked best about the show was that they were 20-somethings and they were their own family. Now, they all have families, so what are we going to watch?”

Co-creator Marta Kauffmanhad similar things to say when she spoke with Deadline in June 2016.
“Friendswas a show about that time in your life when your friends are your family, and in a weird way, this isn’t that different,” said Kauffman, 62. “Once you start having family of your own it changes, and the show was over.”
She went on to say that a show has a “lifespan” andFriendsran its course.
“It has a lifespan like anything else, and there’s no reason to continue doing it just because people miss the characters,” said Kauffman. “Watch the old ones; there is no way we could win that. And there’s no way it would be satisfying and it’ll never happen. We’ll never do it.”
