FRIENDS cast is reuniting after more than a decade off the air

The Friends cast

The Friends cast is reuniting on their old network next month for a two-hour special that pays tribute to veteran sitcom director James Burrows, who recently helmed his 1,000th TV episode (15 of which were Friends). The telecast, which is being likened to last February’s high-rated Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special, will also reunite the casts of other landmark Burrows series, including Taxi, Cheers, Frasier and Will & Grace. The stars of more recent Burrows programs, including The Big Bang Theory and Mike & Molly, will also appear. The entire Friends crew: Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry, will be on hand for the reunion.
The star-studded special is slated to tape later this month in Los Angeles and air on Sunday, Feb. 21 at 9/8c.
