‘Friends’ cast only met up once in 17 years after show finished
Friends cast only met up once in the 17 years after the show ended.The hugely successful sitcom aired on NBC for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004, with Kudrow starring alongside Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc and the late Matthew Perry.After the series finale – which was one of the most-watched television episodes in US history – the stars did not appear together on screen again until Friends: The Reunion on HBO Max in 2021. Now Kudrow has said that, even off screen, they were only in the same room again one other time in the intervening years.Speaking on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Dinner’s On Me podcast, the Phoebe Buffay actor said: “We’d only had dinner, the six of us, once before since the show ended.”Revealing that the rendezvous happened around “10 years” after the final episode, she added that it was, “Just us at someone’s house and [we] had dinner, and like, didn’t miss a beat”.On the recent 30th anniversary of the show, Cox said she “can’t imagine” a reboot of Friends that would work.
