After her new movie bombed at the box office over the weekend, Jennifer Aniston is returning where she belongs -- TV!
Jen will join her former Friends costar Courteney Cox as a guest star on the season premiere of Cougar Town.
“She’s going to play Courteney’s shrink named Bonnie,” show creator Bill Lawrence tells EW. “Kind of a get-too-involved-in-her-life-type of therapist. Those guys are so close in real life they kind of do that for each other anyway. Bonnie has the life Jules wishes she has.”
Lawrence says Courteney wanted the show to find its footing in the first season before inviting Jen to join in the fun. Now that it has the real-life friends are super excited to work alongside each other once again.
“It starts and ends with Courteney and Jennifer being really great friends and excited to work together again—especially doing comedy together,” Lawrence adds. “Every day that those two talk they have more ideas about [the role]. It’s definitely something they’re both involved in creatively.”
Lawrence also says the story will be left open for Aniston to return to the show for more guest appearances.
