Here is a headline you've seen a million times: two enormous stars are slated to "reunite" on the small screen. You're elated! You click so hard your keyboard goes up in flames. But when the smoke dissipates, you realize you've been duped. The duo isn't teaming up for a buddy comedy directed by Ava DuVernay. They're just scheduled to guest-star in the same episode of Madame Secretary. You're crushed!
Not this time.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon will 100 percent, no-ifs-ands-or-buts reunite on a show that will witness Aniston's return to TV more than a decade after Friends went off the air.
Aniston and Witherspoon, who once played sisters to great comedic effect on Friends, are attached to star in a series set in the world of New York's rabid, competitive morning shows. And the still-untitled show, which hasn't been snapped up by a network just yet, is shaping up to be "one of the largest TV packages to date," the Hollywood Reporter writes. The show is the brainchild of former HBO exec Michael Ellenberg. Aniston will serve as an executive producer.
