“Friends” Comeback?
It looks like the folks over at NBC are missing their Friends so much they’ve persuaded the TV gang to reunite.
Fox News reports Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry have all agreed to four new hour-long episodes of the long running mega-hit, to air this year.
The new deal pushes each of the former sitcom stars earnings to a whopping $5 million each, per-episode.
While the network anticipates a ratings windfall with the new Friends specials, execs are also looking at improving Matt LeBlanc’s sitcom spin-off by possibly adding David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry to the cast and renaming the show, from “Joey” to “It’s A Guy Thing.”
