If you are a '90s kid that already feels old enough in a world taken over by Gen Z and now get ready to feel completely ancient! September 2019 will mark 25 years since the first episode of the insanely popular sitcom 'Friends' aired on TV. Luckily, instead of mourning the golden era of 'Friends', fans can celebrate it!
To celebrate the upcoming 25th anniversary of the series premiere--all the way back in September 1994--Warner Bros. is bringing 'Friends' to New York City with a pop-up experience, meaning that fans will be able to live out their deepest 'Friends' fantasies in real life, reported E! News.
Located in the heart of Manhattan's SoHo district, the nostalgia-filled 'Friends' environment is going to treat fans with re-creations, props and costumes all celebrating the beloved TV show.
Warner Bros. said that fans will be able to stick a turkey on their heads, get a chance to peek through Rachel and Monica's purple door, relax on Chandler and Joey's recliner and help Ross with the sofa pivot. There's also a space to learn Monica's tidying tips, a re-created Central Perk coffee shop and the iconic orange couch.
"It's been nearly 25 years since Friends premiered, but the fascination and universal appeal of the hit TV series lives on with fans of all ages," said Peter van Roden, senior vice president of global themed entertainment for Warner Bros. Consumer Products.
"As we celebrate the show's milestone anniversary, we are excited to bring the Friends experience to life for our fans in a way that pays homage to the remarkable cast of characters, iconic sets and instantly quotable moments," Roden added.
