It’s a testament to the cultural impact of Friends that fans still yearn for a reunion to this day, after the final episode aired on May 2004.
But although no such thing is on the horizon, Fathom Events have the next best thing – special screenings of fan-favorite episodes in cinemas across the United States!
Yes, that’s right, boys and girls. As revealed by E!
