Did you realize it’s going to be 26 years since Friends came into existence? It feels like it was just yesterday that we watched them fight, fall in love, have fun, and more. It’s really hard to believe that all six of them, Ross, Rachel, Monica, Joey, Chandler, and Phoebe, are now old. Because in our imagination, they look the same as we saw them in the show.
Anyways, did you celebrate Friends Anniversary last year? In 2019, Friends celebrated the 25th Anniversary. It’s a really big milestone for any show to achieve and still be so successful. The six friends are still earning huge royalties for the reruns and other earning from the show.

So just imagine the popularity of the show and the huge sum of money it’s earning even after 25 years.
