But while the “Friends” cast are expected to appear in the special, it’s still unclear whether they will be on the screen together. ” “I’m hoping all six will be in the same room at the same time,” said NBC head Robert Greenblatt, via Telegraph. “I’m not sure we can logistically pull it off.”

Fans of the show have been hoping to see the cast back on television since “Friends” ended 12 years ago, but its creator, Marta Kaufman, expressed it will never happen, per E! Online.

Aside from “Friends” stars of “Will & Grace,” “Frasier” and “Cheers” are going to be in the James Burrows special tribute. It will be airing on NBC in February.
