Jennifer Aniston Says a 'Friends' Reboot Is Impossible Without Matthew Perry

Her Harper's Bazaar interview closes the door on any full-cast revival following his 2023 death.

Overview

  • In a Harper's Bazaar interview published October 8, Aniston said a remake or sequel would be "literally, physically impossible" without Perry.
  • The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner determined in 2023 that Perry died from the acute effects of ketamine, with drowning, coronary artery disease, and buprenorphine noted as contributing factors.
  • Authorities later brought charges against multiple people, including two doctors and a dealer known as the "ketamine queen," in connection with the ketamine supplied before his death.
  • The last full gathering of the six stars was the 2021 Max special Friends: The Reunion, which became Perry’s final on-screen appearance.
  • Aniston noted the sitcom’s enduring pull for new audiences, saying many viewers rewatch episodes for comfort when stressed by the news or the world.
