The TV show Friends is an iconic series that has left an unforgettable impression on people worldwide. Even after years have passed since the last episode aired, the show still remains popular with viewers. Fans continue to quote their favorite lines from the show and re-watch the series repeatedly. So, what happened to the cast of Friends after the show ended? In this article, we will explore what the cast members did after Friends and how they continued to influence the world of entertainment.

The Friends series, which was broadcast from 1994 to 2004, has been at the top of the television world since the first day it was released.

No one, including the producers of Friends, expected this series to turn into one of the most beloved television series of all time and be watched over and over again.

The actors of the Friends series, the last episode of which was published about 16 years ago, have continued to be part of many important projects after the series.

Courteney Cox, the Monica of the popular series, first starred in the first television series 'Dirt' after the end of Friends.

Cox, who also co-produced the series with her then-husband David Arquette, also won a Golden Globe for the comedy series 'Cougar Town', which she produced and directed!

We can say that the biggest success of Courteney Cox, who recently received the Hollywood Falk Of Fame star, after the Friends series, is the Scream series.

Courteney Cox will appear in Scream 6 (2023), scheduled for release this year. As well as Scream 2 (1997), Scream 3 (2000), Scream 4 (2011) and Scream 5 (2022), which are sequels to the Scream movie in which she starred in 1996.

Friends series' Ross Geller, David Schwimmer, voiced Madagascar's legendary character Melman after the series.

Schwimmer became the voice of Melman in two sequels and a Christmas special episode of the animated film Madagascar, which was released in 2005.

Did you know that Schwimmer, who has directed many television projects and two major films, has also directed a total of 10 episodes of Friends?

David Schwimmer had his biggest success as a director to date with the award-winning film 'Trust' in 2010.

After a long break, Schwimmer portrayed a side role in the TV series 'American Crime Story' and then returned to the screens as the lead in the TV series 'Feed the Beast.'

Schwimmer most recently appeared in a 6-episode sitcom called 'Intelligence', which aired in 2020.

Lisa Kudrow, the Phoebe of the Friends series, seems to have taken great care not to repeat herself after the series ended!

After the broadcast of the last episode of the series, Lisa Kudrow took over the production of the comedy series 'The Comeback', which aired on HBO. Lisa, who played the lead role in this series, which she wrote the script for, won an Emmy award for 'Best Actress' for this comedy she portrayed.

Actress, producer, voice actress, comedian and writer Lisa Kudrow has also achieved great success with the improv program 'Web Therapy', which she wrote the script herself and starred in.

And not only that! While the famous actress played in TV series, she also acted in many films throughout her career. Kudrow also voiced Wanda Pierce and the Boss Baby's mother in the Netflix original animation BoJack Horseman.

As it is known, Matt LeBlanc, the Joey of the Friends series, continued with the 'Joey' series, which is the sequel to Friends, after the last episode of the series.

After the series 'Joey', which was canceled after two seasons due to low ratings, the famous actor announced that he would take a one-year break from acting, but that turned into one year, five years.

After five years, Matt LeBlanc, who appeared in front of the audience with the series 'Episodes', won the Golden Globe award with this series!

Matt LeBlanc has since appeared in several other small television projects, including the lead role in 'Man with a Plan'.

As it is known, Jennifer Aniston, the Rachel of the series, shone like a star after her character in the series!

Having undertaken many ambitious projects in front of and behind the camera, Aniston served as one of the five female directors of the anthology film Five exploring the topic of breast cancer broadcast on Lifetime, and played the lead role by executive producing the drama film Cake, for which she received her third Golden Globe nomination.

After winning a Golden Globe for her role as Rachel Green, Jennifer Aniston has starred in several films.

Aniston is also co-starring and executive producing The Morning Show, which reveals the behind-the-scenes of a fictional morning news program that aired its first season in 2019.

The Chandler of the series, Matthew Perry, on the other hand, had a serious alcohol and drug problem and failures!

In addition to acting, Matthew Perry has turned to writing and producing. Perry starred in the made-for-television movie 'The Ron Clark Story' in 2006, earning Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for his role in the film for the first time.

Matthew Perry last made his acting debut in the miniseries 'The Kennedys After Camelot', which aired in 2017, and has not appeared in any other projects since.

Unfortunately, his career was not turbulent like other actors who starred in the series. The series in which he took part was either canceled after the first season or taken off the air after a while. Perry, who used to have a serious alcohol and drug problem, now spends his energy and time on therapy, sobriety and helping those who have drug addiction problems like him.
