Friends (94-04)
I picked Friends to do re launch because of how popular it
was when it was being aired. The finale episode got a massive 52.5 million
views in the US alone, with an average of 22 million through out the series and
reaching number 1 rank.
Friends didn’t finish due to poor ratings etc but because
the creators felt the story line had come to its end. The characters were
getting older and growing up so there was limited opportunities for comedy. The
series had been running for 10 years and the cast and crew decided it would be
better to end it on a high.
The elements id keep is the basic character structures with
3 men and 3 women living in apartments and growing up together. However id
change many elements such as having it set in the UK and them growing up in
London rather than New York. I would also have the characters start younger,
with their first year out of Uni. This would give the option of the series
carrying on for longer. I would include similar elements like the flash backs
and have flashbacks of them growing up and scenes from Uni. Id keep some of the
relations the same too such as having siblings and relationships between
characters. I would also bring in same sex couples, briefly linked in friends but
these characters bought in as main characters
For the cast, id need actors that look around the age of 21.
I would consider;
- Ezra Miller (The perks of being a wallflower)
- Daniel Sharmen (teen wolf)
- Spencer Boldman (21 jump street)
- Grace Phips (The Vampire Dairies)
