Here’s Lisa Kudrow’s Conditions For a Friends Revival
A potential reboot? As Phoebe would say, “that is brand new information!”
The good news: Lisa Kudrow revealed that she would love a revival of Friends. The bad news? Don’t expect to hear any “Smelly Cat.” The 58-year-old actress—who starred as Phoebe Buffay on the hit NBC sitcom—revealed that she “loved” the idea of rebooting the show, but with different actors playing the lead roles.
“I don’t think there’s going to be a Friends reboot,” she said in an interview with Where Is the Buzz. “I mean, not with any of us in it. Not that [Friends creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane] are writing.”
“But a reboot…where they hired other actors?” she continued. “I would be for it. I would love to see what the now version of that would be.”
Hey, we’ll take anything we can get!
Although Kudrow doesn’t plan on reprising her role as Phoebe, we got a little taste of nostalgia back in 2020 when the actress starred in HBO Max’s Friends: The Reunion.
Kudrow reunited with co-stars and real-life pals Matt LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer for the first time since the series ended 17 years ago.
