Is There a Friends Reboot In The Works?
While many have hoped that a Friends reboot would take place - and have been ready to watch that series continue on for several seasons, the original creators are hesitant. Friends was a popular show, particularly because of its strong cast of Characters and the stories those characters were telling. As viewers found themselves drawn to those funny moments in the series and its well-developed relationships.
However, there is one possible scenario where it could work and, although the cast has gone on to be involved with many other projects that are currently being featured. Many fans are going to be eager to see if a reboot would take place, after all those Characters and relationships are still fresh in their minds.

Who Would Star in the Reboot?
Many fans have been dreaming of those classic characters returning. A reboot of Friends is not going to happen for one key reason: It turns out that Matthew Perry, one of the main actors from the original series, passed away. As many fans are aware that Chandler Bing, the character played by Perry, is an integral part of the show.
The Friends reboot was likely going to feature Matt LeBlanc, known for his role as Joey, and the remaining cast, however - the loss of Perry means that there are those questions about what those creators, the rest of the cast will choose to do. A key element is how the show was developed - particularly as those characters were able to navigate the challenges and ups and downs of relationships with one another.
Would It Work to Center on the Children?
While it’s often thought that a show about those original characters would be more appealing, the series creators have indicated that they aren’t interested. That idea for a reboot that would feature Ross and Rachel's daughter, Emma, as a key element - or the story about Monica and Chandler’s twins - these all could be interesting stories - but it turns out, that’s not what those Fans want.
What viewers are ready to see is a series which brings those original characters together: That could include those events that are a part of those Storylines - their relationship with each other that’s still an essential part of this series. Fans might find that a reboot will offer a look at how those events continue.
