The Biggest Upcoming Projects By Friends Stars To Anticipate

FRIENDS

The show “FRIENDS” is often regarded as the number one show in Hollywood sitcom history, maybe in all of Hollywood. The show dominated the 90’s and early 2000’s, spanning a hugely successful ten years across two decades. Although incredibly popular, a lot of fans do not know that the title of the show was not meant to be “FRIENDS” as revealed by Karey Burke, former prime-time executive at NBC, who told Vanity Fair in 2012 that the titles in the running were Six of One and Gen X. As earlier stated, the NBC show was an incredible success, so much so that in the last three seasons, each cast member made $1 million per episode.

 After nearly two decades, the iconic six cast members converged for an emotional and nostalgic reunion called “FRIENDS: THE REUNION” which was released on the 27TH of May, 2021 on HBO MAX.

The show made the cast members David Schwimmer, Jennifer Anniston, Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry household names and famous movie celebrities. Friends has been over for nearly twenty years but the reunion filled us up with nostalgia, and in an attempt to take part in it, we took a look at the upcoming projects by some of the cast members.
