Last week it was confirmed that all 6 members of the Friends cast had finalized negotiations and come to an agreement with HBO Max, but could there be a 7th cast member?

According to multiple news outlets, Ellen DeGeneres is in talks to solidify her spot on the reunion special as well.

The cast originally rejected an initial offer of $1 million each for the reunion special, but after talks, it seems that they have come to an agreement of around $4 million each. They originally called it an “unscripted reunion special”, but now with the idea of Ellen DeGeneres joining, it seems to be more of a special filled with interviews with the cast.

I need an update on Ross & Rachel & Emma! In my mind, they end up married and Emma is at NYA. Monica and Chandler are raising their twins in the suburbs and have 2 more kids, while Janice does eventually end up buying the house next door…”OH MY GAWD!”

I NEED TO KNOW!

While the reunion sounds more like a cast interview than anything, and is far less exciting than the version I have made up in my head, will I watch? You bet your butt I will!
