You’ve just finished binge-watching your favorite TV series after three months of late nights and missed homework assignments.
But, then, you hear that the same cast you’ve come to love has announced that they are coming together for a reunion.
With the phenomenon of binge-watching at an all-time high and an increased number of views from today’s teenagers on popular shows that originally premiered in the 1990s and 2000s, fans all over the nation are tuning in to see their favorite casts together again.
The most recent reunion was for Disney’s High School Musical ten years after the first movie aired. Some fans were disappointed, however, when major heartthrob Zac Efron did not show.
Efron was out promoting his new movie Bad Grandpa and was, therefore, unable to attend. Considering the feelings of his beloved fans, he recorded a short message which thanked his fans for supporting him during that time in his career.
And Efron wasn’t the only one who skipped out on his reunion.
Matthew Perry, otherwise known as Chandler in the famous TV series Friends, will not be attending their reunion, due to scheduling conflicts. The cast of friends that will be attending the reunion include: Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt Leblanc, and David Schwimmer. They dedicated this reunion special to James Burrow the director of the show. The show was aired on February 21 on NBC. Fans were very happy that the reunion happened but are upset that Chandler wasn’t there.
Another anticipated reunion is that of “America’s favorite family” from the famous sitcom Full House. A new show will air as a Netflix series, a sequel called Fuller House. The season aired on February 26th and Season 2 is already in the making. The season started off with D.J. Tanner, one of the major characters in the show, as a mom of three who contacts her family for help. The only characters that will be missed are Mary Kate and Ashley who play Michelle.
Netflix will also be bringing back another favorite tv show; Gilmore Girls. It hasn’t been announced, however, when but the favorite duo, Lorelai and Rory Gilmore will be joining together to for this reunion. It is reported that there will be four episodes, each 90 minutes long, and each representing a season over the course of the year. The creator of Gilmore Girls, Amy- Sherman Palladino , said “Our plan is to get as many of Rory’s lovely men back as possible”. according to a recent interview for TVLine.
