Will There Be a ‘Friends’ Cast Reunion After Matthew Perry’s Death?
Jennifer Aniston said a Friends cast reunion is not possible after Matthew Perry's death. The group will not reunite for another special or reboot. Aniston made this clear in interviews after Perry passed away from an accidental overdose in 2023.
Fans have hoped for a reunion, but Aniston says it would be impossible without Perry. She told Harper's Bazaar, "It would be literally, physically impossible." Perry played Chandler Bing and was central to the show. His absence means there won’t be another revival.
The cast feels Perry’s loss deeply. They call themselves a family, not just former co-stars. Aniston spoke about Perry’s struggles and how hard they tried to support him. She said his battle with addiction lasted years. For her, losing him changed everything about any chance to reunite.
Aniston still cherishes the time on Friends. She says the show shaped who she is and brought her joy each day. The bond between the cast made the series special. But for her, a reunion doesn’t make sense anymore.
After Friends ended in 2004, the group only came together a few times. Their most recent reunion was for the HBO Max special in 2021. That was Perry’s last on-screen appearance with the cast. Since then, no plans for another reunion have been real. Rumors about a new movie or show are just fan speculation. No project is in development, and the recent online trailers are fan-made fakes.
Aniston summed it up simply: a real Friends reunion isn’t happening. The show’s legacy lives on, and many people find comfort in rewatching episodes. But for the original cast, there won’t be another reunion without Matthew Perry.
