But that isn’t stopping Netflix from imagining what the gang would be up to if the show were still on today. The streaming service took to Twitter on Wednesday to share its predictions for the _Friends_‘ everyday foibles in 2018\. “Joey eats Tide pods, goes to hospital (guest star Ellen Pompeo),” Netlflix wrote. “Chandler won’t shut up about how funny his Vines were -Ed Sheeran cameo interrupts Phoebe’s Central Perk set -Ross gets everyone into Bitcoin -The One Where The Gang Realizes Their Privilege.” We have to admit these all seem pretty on the nose. However, considering Pompeo already guest-starred as Ross and Chandler’s old college crush [Missy Goldberg](http://friends.wikia.com/wiki/Missy%5FGoldberg) in Season 10’s “The One Where The Stripper Cries,” it may be difficult to bring her back for a Meredith Grey-inspired cameo. > [](https://twitter.com/netflix/status/956217362721644546) Netflix Predicts What the Friends Gang Would Be Doing Now ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5116888/netflix-friends-predictions-2018/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5116888/netflix-friends-predictions-2018/"},"headline":"Netflix Knows Exactly What the Friends Gang Would Be Up to in 2018","datePublished":"2018-01-24T19:33:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:50:02.268Z","description":"From eating Tide Pods to investing in Bitcoin","url":"https://time.com/5116888/netflix-friends-predictions-2018/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Friends","TV"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfea2a7d6707cdb28/6988f95a929fad5a30bef58d/friends-cast1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfea2a7d6707cdb28/6988f95a929fad5a30bef58d/friends-cast1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Friends Cast","caption":"Matt LeBlanc as Joey Tribbiani, Lisa Kudrow as Phoebe Buffay, David Schwimmer as Ross Geller, Jennifer Aniston as Rachel Green, Courteney Cox as Monica Geller, Matthew Perry as Chandler Bing in Friends","creditText":"NBC—NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5116888/netflix-friends-predictions-2018/","name":"Netflix Knows Exactly What the Friends Gang Would Be Up to in 2018"}}]}] ```
