Don’t panic, but there’s a possibility everyone’s favourite singer-songwriter-masseuse could be headed for television screens once again…
According to In Touch Magazine, Lisa Kudrow, 53, is in “serious talks” with Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman about a spin-off show that would follow fan-favorite character Phoebe Buffay in the present day.
The duo, who already work alongside one another on the Netflix series Grace and Frankie, have reportedly been “brainstorming fun storylines for the show.”
An insider reveals that if the spin-off did go ahead, Lisa’s character, Phoebe, “would probably be divorced now and living back in [New York City.]”
On a happier note, the source said it seems “natural” the kooky blonde would occasionally bump into her old friends — meaning cameos from the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry.
Fans have long clamoured for a Friends revival or reunion since the show wrapped up back in May of 2006, and while that seems unlikely, the source claims getting the entire cast back together for one “epic TV moment” would be the end goal.
“If there’s anyone that can make that happen, it’s Lisa,” they said.
There’s no word yet from the iconic cast about whether or not the spin-off will go ahead.
Lisa’s character, Phoebe Buffay, was most well-known for her quirky take on life.
Lisa has previously shut down rumours of a Friends revival, citing plot issues as her main concern.
“I don’t see it happening,” she told the US Today show.
“It would be fun, but what would it be about? Think about it. The thing we liked best about the show was that they were twentysomethings and they were their own family. Now, they all have families, so what are we going to watch?”

Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel Green, has also openly squashed dreams of a revival.
“Honestly, I don’t know what we would do,” she said last December.
“I think that period of time was sort of nostalgic. I think why people have such an affection for it is because even though it was only 12 years ago it ended, or 13 -God, it’s getting farther and farther away – there was something about a time where our faces weren’t stuffed into cell phones.”
“We weren’t checking Facebooks and Instagrams. We were in a room together, in a coffee shop together. We were talking, having conversations. We have lost that.”
