Finally we get a real answer surrounding a Friends possible ‘reunion’
From People:
The Friends cast may be there for you again soon enough, but don’t expect to see them reprising their beloved characters.
On Saturday, Marta Kauffman, co-creator of the beloved NBC sitcom, spoke to reporters at the Producer Guild Awards, where she received the Norman Lear Achievement in Television Award.
Speaking about the possibility of a Friends reunion special, Kauffman, 63, said, “If it was the right thing, if it were the six of them together reflecting, talking about their experiences, and the episodes, then I’m totally behind it.”
However, she shut down the possibility of the reunion being a scripted project.
“Nothing scripted,” Kauffman said. “We will not do anything scripted.”
Kauffman also said that if there is a reunion, they hope to have it on HBO Max — WarnerMedia’s upcoming streaming service, which will be home to all 10 seasons of Friends in May.
And though it’s been rumored that the show’s stars — Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt Le Blanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer — and the series’ creators, Kauffman and David Crane, have been in talks for a reunion project on HBO Max, Kauffman again said that nothing has been confirmed yet.
“Well, we wouldn’t talk to any writers about it at this point,” she said. “It’s still in the ether.”
