Jennifer Aniston Rules Out Any Friends Revival Without Matthew Perry

In a new Harper’s Bazaar interview, she says the show’s six-person dynamic cannot be recreated after his death.

Overview

  • Aniston told Harper’s Bazaar that a reboot, remake, or sequel would be “literally, physically impossible” without Perry.
  • She reflected on Perry’s long struggles with addiction and depression, calling it heartbreaking while recalling how much laughter meant to him.
  • Perry’s 2023 death was attributed to the acute effects of ketamine, with drowning and other factors noted by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.
  • Investigations into ketamine distribution connected to the case led to multiple defendants, including two doctors and a dealer, entering guilty pleas to federal drug offenses.
  • Aniston highlighted the cast’s enduring closeness and noted that fans still turn to Friends for comfort viewing, even as the 2021 HBO Max reunion stands as the last full-cast appearance and Perry’s final on-screen role.
