Last year, fans of the series were delighted when it was revealed a spin-off series for the hit show, set eight years after the series finale, had been commissioned for upcoming streaming service called HBO Max.
Yet in an interview with Hollywood News earlier this month, Ed claimed it is unlikely any of the show’s original stars will be featured.
Asked if he would like to make an appearance, Ed mused: ‘Absolutely I would, but I don’t know that they want us!
I don’t know anything about this reboot except from what you guys have read… I’m not sure how our characters would fit in.
‘I’m so lucky to have known those people, to have played that role and to have been in New York City and doing that. Are you kidding me, I’d go back in a heartbeat, but I don’t think it’s going to happen.’
