Sorry to Crush Your Dreams, But a ‘Friends’ Reunion is NOT Happening

It’s been exactly 11 years since the Friends series finale aired on TV, and we’re STILL not over it. But can you blame us? No other character understands us as well as Chandler Bing does:

On the bright side, we can watch all 236 hilarious episodes on Netflix. Unfortunately, there’s still an empty void in our hearts that no amount of reruns or pizza can fix (sorry, Joey).

Since the iconic TV show ended, cast members have constantly faced the same question from fans: Will there ever be a Friends reunion?  In previous interviews, Courtney Cox (aka Monica Geller) has hinted at the struggle to rally all the cast members together. With the recent news of the Full House revival, it was inevitable that the question would come up again.

In a recent interview, series co-creator Marta Kauffman completely shut down any possibilities of a Friends reunion. At a promotional event for her new Netflix show, Kauffman decided to end the rumors once and for all, saying, “Yeah, it’ll never happen. Not happening.” And just like that, our hopes and dreams for the return of Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe have been completely crushed. 

Alright, we get it. A Friends reunion isn’t in our futures, but we just have one more question:
