Jennifer Aniston has said she would be keen to be reunited with Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox for another sitcom.
The actress, who starred alongside Kudrow and Cox in Friends from 1994 to 2004, mooted a new show. In a joint interview with Kudrow for Variety, she suggested calling it Girlfriends.
Kudrow, who played Phoebe Buffay in Friends, said: “I would love to do another one, if anyone wrote a good one. Let’s do it. You heard it here!
“Can we do you, me and Courteney? What would that be?”
Aniston, who starred as Rachel Green in the hit NBC show, replied: “Girlfriends. Let’s pitch it.”
Friends is one of the most watched television shows in history, with its finale in 2004 drawing around 52.5 million viewers in the US.
Before its removal from Netflix last year, the show routinely topped the charts for the most-streamed show in the UK. In July, it racked up 57 million views from 1.7 million viewers – an average of 33 streams per viewer.

Aniston, who recently starred alongside Reese Witherspoon in the fourth season of Apple TV’s The Morning Show, recalled the cast of Friends hosting viewing parties.
“We would gather in the very, very beginning, back in the 1990s. We would watch the show at one of our homes,” the 57-year-old said, adding: “That was really fun. That all still feels like yesterday, doesn’t it? I really loved that medium. I loved the audience.”
Kudrow said she had recently watched all 236 episodes, having never watched the show in its entirety.
“I just couldn’t sit there at home and have anybody walk by seeing me watching a show that I’m in. Because it felt embarrassing to me,” she said, adding that she now felt “so happy to watch it”.
Kudrow and Michael Patrick King, a co-creator, have written the third and final season of The Comeback, which was filmed on the same stage at Warner Bros as Friends.
Since Friends ended, Cox has been a recurring face in the Scream horror film franchise.
She has also starred in the sitcom Cougar Town, in which Friends co-stars Aniston, Kudrow and Matthew Perry all made guest appearances. Perry died in October 2023, aged 54, after being found unresponsive in the jacuzzi at his home in California.
The cast of Friends also reunited briefly on the set of Kudrow’s improvisational comedy Web Therapy and in Matt LeBlanc’s sitcom Episodes. Aniston and Cox also reunited on Cox’s FX series Dirt.
