Friends Reboot: Will the anticipated reboot arrive?

Are you a fan of the television hit series ‘Friends ’?

What if the cast got together for a reboot – would you watch it?

The hit show that we came to know and love during the late ’90s and early 2000s was a show that broke television records. With an average rating of 23 million views per episode, the Friends cast began earning close to $1,000,000 per episode in their final three seasons. 

Given these astonishing statistics, a recent study gathered some insights to provide additional staggering results to determine the interest in a Friends reboot. 

With the ability to binge-watch our favourite television shows, the team at Caddle conducted a survey with nearly 10,000 responses to determine the interest in watching a Friends reboot, and which platform they’d prefer to watch it on. 

Here’s what we learned:

• 62% of respondents are interested in watching a Friends reboot
• 57% showed a preferred interest in watching the reboot on a streaming service (e.g., Netflix)
• 20% felt that the reboot would be almost as good as the original
• 43% felt that the reboot would be just as good as the original. This segment of respondents is over-indexed.

  • 52% of Gez Z respondents showed an interest in a Friends reboot
