It's not a remake or reboot, it's a revival about other characters. Some of the "Friends" alums will make cameos or become recurring characters. The main cast will this time show diversity. Some are white, some are a different race, some are LGBT, and someone might be a they/them. But like the old show, the main characters will consist of "the smart one," "the dumb one," "the cute/sexy one," "the funny one," etc. The main characters could either hang out at Central Perk, or somewhere else in New York City. One character is a barista, one has an office job with a suit and tie, one is an artist who likes to collect action figures, one is an influencer, one is an aspiring popstar, and one claims to be an "aura whisperer." Two of the characters will be Ross's children from different families, Ben and Emma.
