Marta Kauffman on ‘Friends’ Reunion: ‘We’ll Never Do It’
Marta Kauffman, co-creator of both the Netflix original series Grace and Frankie and the NBC sitcom Friends, spoke candidly with Deadline about the third season of her latest series and her thoughts on a Friends reunion.
Kauffman described Friends as a "show about that time in your life when your friends are your family.” She continued:
“Once you start having family of your own it changes, and the show was over. A show has a lifespan I believe, it has a lifespan like anything else, and there’s no reason to continue doing it just because people miss the characters. Watch the old ones, there is no way we could win that. And there’s no way it would be satisfying and it’ll never happen. We’ll never do it.”
