Whether you were around in the Nineties or not, there’s a high chance you’ve heard of Friends; the hit sitcom by Marta Kauffman and David Crane ran for a whopping ten seasons between 1994 and 2004, cementing the names Monica (Courteney Cox), Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Ross (David Schwimmer), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Joey (Matt LeBlanc) and Chandler (Matthew Perry) forever in our hearts and minds.
Fans of the show have long yearned for its return to screens since its conclusion, but in an interview with E! News last year, Kauffman stated that fans “have to let it go. It’ll never happen – not happening”, meaning that this reunion could be our last chance to see the cast all together in their iconic roles.
Although we’re excited to see all six friends reunited for the special, their collective appearance is yet to be confirmed: “I’m hoping that all six of them will be in the same room at the same time”, said NBC’s Robert Greenblatt, but he remained skeptical about whether they could “…logistically pull it off”. The two hour special reunion is in honour of renowned sitcom director James Burrows (Cheers, Frasier) and is scheduled to air on February 21.
