Friends fans have clamored for some kind of reunion since about 10 minutes after the show wrapped in 2004. Be it a big-screen movie, a reunion special, or a full-on reboot, millions would love to see Chandler and Monica's nearly-grown twins or find out just how many times Ross and Rachel have broken up and gotten back together. It would take a lot of effort and money to get all the friends back together, considering they're all pretty busy, particularly A-list movie star Jennifer Aniston. And yet, she's not the one reportedly dragging her feet.
The one member of the cast who isn't down for a Friends reunion — and who arguably may have the most to gain from one — is Matthew Perry. In 2017, he told Vanity Fair that he fears it wouldn't be any good. "I have this recurring nightmare — I'm not kidding about this. When I'm asleep, I have this nightmare that we do Friends again and nobody cares," Perry said. "We do a whole series, we come back, and nobody cares about it. So if anybody asks me, I'm gonna say no. The thing is: we ended on such a high. We can't beat it."
The closest thing to a Friends reunion went down in 2016. A televised tribute to prolific TV director James Burrows featured five out of six friends — guess who was missing? Perry's reps said he couldn't attend because he was stuck in London rehearsing his play, The End of Longing.
