Kudrow, on Instagram, said: “ The one with us finally getting together,”. Cox said she felt “blessed to have reunited with my friends… and it was better than ever.”

The show ended in 2004 after a journey of 10 years. The show even after more than 10 years of stagnancy, still is one of the viewers all time favorites, which explains the huge deal the reunion is causing now,
