Reunion Details

The 90-minute special, hosted by series creator Phil Rosenthal and star Ray Romano, airs Monday, November 24, 2025 (8-9:30 p.m. ET/PT) on CBS and streams on Paramount+. Filmed in a reimagined version of the Barone family living room, the special features exclusive behind-the-scenes stories, favorite episode memories, and unaudition tales.

Joining Romano and Rosenthal are key cast members including Brad Garrett (Robert Barone), Patricia Heaton (Debra Barone), Monica Horan (Amy MacDougall), and the Sweeten siblings (Madylin, Geoffrey, and Sullivan). The special will also include a touching tribute to late cast members Doris Roberts (Marie Barone) and Peter Boyle (Frank Barone).

Why Now? The 30-Year Journey

"I tried for a 20-year reunion and I tried for a 25-year reunion," revealed Rosenthal in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE. "The newest leadership at CBS was into it, and that's why we're here today." Romano added, "We had trouble getting it made, but we always wanted to do it. This one just came to be."

"We never wanted to do the reboot. When we are together... it is so easy. We fall back into a very easy, almost familial relationship."—Phil Rosenthal

The cast unanimously rejected reboot offers, opting instead for a one-time reunion. "We see each other a lot," Romano noted. "Brad's in Vegas, but when we're together, it's instant chemistry."

Nostalgia Central: Original Set Pieces

The reunion taps into deep nostalgia with original set pieces returning to the stage. Romano revealed he kept the iconic Barone couch: "I took it to my home theater. They brought it back for the special." Meanwhile, Rosenthal retained the parents' kitchen table: "It's in my guest house, still in the same disrepair as 30 years ago!"
