Jennifer Aniston Rules Out Any 'Friends' Revival Without Matthew Perry

She tells Harper's Bazaar the series' singular chemistry cannot continue without him.

Overview

  • Aniston said a remake or sequel would be "literally, physically impossible" without Perry, in comments published by Harper's Bazaar U.K.
  • Perry died in October 2023 at 54, with officials citing the acute effects of ketamine as the primary cause and drowning, coronary artery disease, and buprenorphine as contributing factors.
  • Reflecting on his struggles, Aniston called it heartbreaking that he had "so many demons" yet found joy in laughter.
  • She previously told Vanity Fair the cast "did everything we could" and expressed relief that Perry is no longer in pain.
  • Aniston noted the cast's "lightning-in-a-bottle" bond, the show's lasting comfort to viewers, and that the 2021 HBO Max reunion marked their last full gathering and Perry's final on-screen appearance.
