All Friends Thanksgiving episodes will be coming to theaters. Debuting in 1994, the NBC sitcom centered on a group of mid-20s people living in New York City and trying to navigate their way to adulthood. The show ran for 10 successful years and catapulted Jennifer Aniston (Rachel), Courtney Cox (Monica), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe), David Schwimmer (Ross), Matthew Perry (Chandler) and Matt LeBlanc (Joey) to mainstream popularity. More than a decade after it wrapped up, it remains to be as popular as it was when it was still airing thanks to its availability on Netflix.
Friends recently celebrated its 25th year anniversary with various special events for its diehard fans. Last month, they even got a treat from Aniston who joined Instagram via a reunion image that brought together all six actors again. This helped her become the fastest person to acquire 1 million followers, proving the enduring clout of the show. To continue the festivities, the show’s memorable Thanksgiving episodes will grace the big screen this holiday.
CNN is reporting that AMC Entertainment-owned Fathom Events will be holding screenings for Friends’ Thanksgiving episodes. Tickets for the special event they call “Friendsgiving” will go on sale today. No additional information regarding specifics about the gathering is available at the time of writing this article, but the official site of the organizers are asking those who are interested to leave their email addresses to be in the know about the event. For context, Fathom Events was also behind the pop-up Friends experience in New York, as well as the nationwide screenings of the sitcom to celebrate its silver anniversary.
The classic sitcom oftentimes filmed holiday-themed episodes, however, nothing was as memorable and consistent as their Thanksgiving offerings. Year after year, Monica hosted as her friends went through various troubles. From Chandler’s refusal to celebrate the holiday to Joey’s attempt to finish a whole turkey by himself and of course, Brad Pitt’s iconic guesting as Will Colbert. Those who are interested to partake in the upcoming Friends special screening by Fathom Events can relive all these hilarious moments with their own friends on the big screen.
Aside from these organized events, Friends fans may be up for something big with Aniston saying that there’s something special that the whole cast is work on. For years, there have been calls for a reboot/revival considering this day and age in Hollywood where that’s the norm. But while the actors have been open to the possibility, nothing has come out of it thus far. The actress didn’t say what the secret project is about, nonetheless, loyal followers of the sitcom are thrilled about this.
