'Friends' Stars Courteney Cox And Matthew Perry To Reunite For Sitcom 'Go On'

Monica And Chandler's TV Reunion

'Friends' stars Courteney Cox and Matthew Perry are to reunite, after nine years away from our screens.

The actors starred as friends-turned-lovers Monica Geller and Chandler Bing in the long-running hit US sitcom and are now set to play a couple again in Perry's new show 'Go On'.

In an episode to air in April, Cox will play a potential love interest to Perry’s character Ryan King — a radio sports host trying to move on from the death of his wife, The Hollywood Reporter reports.

'Friends' fans will be eager for some kind of reunion - the hallowed sitcom enjoyed a decade of success, and some of TV comedy's most beloved characters of all time.

But this get together between Perry and Cox is probably the most fans are going to get as, according to co-executive producer/director Kevin S. Bright, what's done is done when it comes to the late NBC sitcom.

"There is absolutely, 100 percent no talk about a reunion ... there will be no 'Friends' movie," Bright told TV Guide. "It was made to be an intimate show in your living room. It wasn't a broader show like many of the comedies today that are shot single-camera. It's wonderful the way it is."

Matt LeBlanc, who played Joey on the series, is in Bright's corner.

"Everyone’s going to have different vision of what those characters are like, so to have that materialise is going to disappoint most people," he told EW. "A couple of people will go, 'That's what I thought!' but for the most part it’s going to let people down. It's better to let them just think."

TV Reunions We Want To See

While we're very excited to see Busy Philipps and James Van Der Beek back together on the ABC comedy, a "Dawson's Creek" reunion is just not the same with the rest of the gang. Van Der Beek, Jackson and Williams have been teasing a reunion for a while now, but Holmes seemed iffy. However, after her divorce from Tom Cruise, it was reported that he was the one who didn't want the Capeside crew to reconnect. But now that Holmes is a single lady, someone needs to get this started! (credit:Getty)

It would be heartwarming to see the "Married With Children" father and daughter reunited on "Modern Family" after all these years. Maybe Applegate could make a cameo as a wacky cousin from Jay's ex-wife's Dede's side of the family. (credit:AP)

"Doogie Howser, M.D." veterans gotta stick together. Max Casella could pop up on "How I Met Your Mother" as a doctor Barney turns to when the threat of an STI rears its ugly head. (credit:Getty Images/CBS)

It's been a few years, but we bet Michelle Tanner's "Full House" BFFs still keep in touch. Jurnee Smollett could pop up on "Baby Daddy" as Tucker's (Tahj Mowry) old flame. Could it be rekindled? (credit:ABC Family/AP)

Remember the ladies of "Who's the Boss?" Alyssa Milano starred as a housekeeper's (Tony Danza) daughter and Judith Light was the matriarch of the family they lived with and are employed by -- Milano's new series "Mistresses" seems like the perfect opportunity to find a brand new TV reunion around the bend. Light, who recurs on "Law & Order: SVU," could play a legendary famous mistress who helps Milano and the other newbies get through their experiences ... or, she could play the mother of one of the cheating men, who blames it all on his mistress.

When "Kenan & Kel" returned to TeenNick and Kenan hosted its opening night on the orange couch, #WheresKel was trending on Twitter. Kenan, an "SNL" cast member, has maintained a steady career after the success of their show and "Good Burger," but we haven't seen much of Kel lately -- he's done a lot of voice work in the past decade and has stuck to the kid market, guest-starring on Disney's "Good Luck Charlie." But maybe it's time for Kel to grow up and reunite with Kenan on "SNL." Will the orange soda jokes translate? (credit:Getty)
