A 'Friends' Reunion Is Finally Happening! Get the Details
Finally!
Fans have been clamoring for a Friends reunion ever since the series finale aired in 2004, and now it’s actually happening.
All six actors – Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc – will participate in a tribute broadcast honoring legendary TV director James Burrows, who helmed 15 Friends episodes throughout the show’s 10-season run. NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt announced the news at the Television Critics Association press tour on Wednesday, but there’s a catch.

“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 told reporters, shortly after TVLine first reported the news.
