10 Biggest Friends Urban Legends
5. There's A Reboot In The Works
If you type the phrase "Friends reboot" into Google, you'll find countless click-chasing articles discussing a supposed "reboot" of Friends, inviting the suggestion that the original six cast members are returning for a new series or will be replaced by a new cast of youngsters.
It didn't help that an extremely popular fake trailer for a Friends movie - expertly edited using footage from the cast's recent projects - did the rounds back in 2018, further muddying the waters.
But none of this is true: the only confirmed Friends content in the pipeline is an unscripted reunion special for HBO Max, which will reunite the cast to discuss the show but categorically won't see them getting back into character.
The special is due to begin filming soon, and the consistent party line from Marta Kauffman and David Crane has been that fans had their time with these characters, and that time has passed. In a time where reboots are all the rage, that's a respectable integrity move.
