Being on the set of any film, television or cartoon production could have plenty of outcomes. On average, actors are simply associates who work together and then go their separate ways once the project ends with no ill will towards their coworkers. Of course, Romance on the Set may happen between coworkers and, on the opposite end, so does Hostility on the Set.
This trope lies in the middle, where someone becomes close to their coworker either as a good friend or even a best friend. Obviously, this can change the trajectory of their lives/careers, even to the point of making several projects together or later guest-starring on the costar's latest show. Also, while a friendship may develop between coworkers, it can still end through a non-death manner.
Compare with Mean Character, Nice Actor, Heterosexual Life-Partners, Platonic Life-Partners, True Companions, Undying Loyalty, Best Friends-in-Law, Like Brother and Sister, Fire-Forged Friends and Bash Brothers. Contrast with The Rival, Vitriolic Best Buds, With Friends Like These... and All of the Other Reindeer.

Lisa Marie Varon is known for being one of those WWE employees that other former Divas have nothing but praise for, and many of the Diva Search girls she had to help put over credit her with helping them out in their early days. Michelle McCool had such great respect for her that she begged the bookers to let her put her over in her 2009 retirement match.

Bella Twins:
They described Melina as like a sister to them, and they pitched for her to be placed in a stable with them called 'Latina Heat'. They also say she was a locker room leader.
Maryse - who Brie describes as "our little Momo" - lived on their couch for several months while they were all in developmental, and even learned some of her English from them (she is a native French speaker). They joke that, since she had two siblings who were twins, she understood their constant bickering.
They became very close with Natalya, crediting her with helping them learn more about wrestling, and they in turn taught her how to do the "Diva thing".
Nikki said that Kelly Kelly was her best friend, and loved the 2011 period when they were all feuding together.
Nikki also loved working with Paige, and named her as one of her favourite people to wrestle.

The School for Good and Evil (2022): In interviews to promote the film, Charlize Theron and Kerry Washington revealed that they became incredibly close friends while filming. Despite having never met before, both actresses have said that they had a instant chemistry and bond due to their shared experiences as mothers and spent a large part of the press for the film gushing about their friendship. Both actresses also became co-moms towards the younger cast of the film.

Quite a bit on The Cosby Show:
Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad became good friends while appearing on the show as husband and wife, so much that they reunited to play husband and wife again on his later series Cosby.
A behind-the-scenes version: Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Cosby's only son, Ennis (who Warner's character Theo Huxtable was based on) became best friends. After Ennis' tragic 1997 murder, Malcolm called him "[his] brother, and I love him". Warner also had this and a Romance on the Set with Michelle Thomas, who appeared as his date in one episode, and although they had broken up, he was at her side when she died from stomach cancer in 1998.

At least two of The Goonies, Ke Huy Quan and Jeff Cohen, formed a friendship that lasted into adulthood; solidified when Cohen agreed to become Quan's lawyer when Quan decided to begin acting again. When Quan won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in Everything Everywhere All at Once, he thanked Cohen for helping him get the part.
Ke Huy Quan had also kept in touch with Steven Spielberg ever since Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, has acted like a hyperactive little brother around his Encino Man co-star Brendan Fraser when the two respectively won Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars, and Harrison Ford looks always happy to see Ke and is nothing short of proud of his success in the 2020s.

The two stars of Titanic (1997). Leonardo DiCaprio had to wear a long coat for most of his shoot. James Cameron recalled, "He would, like, fart in it and then sweep the coat over her face. I mean, if anybody else in the world did that, they'd get slapped, and the other person would walk away and not talk to them for a week. With Leo, Kate would just crack up."

While Community was rather infamous for the on-set tensions between Chevy Chase and his co-stars, nearly everyone else in the main cast got along incredibly well. In particular: Troy and Abed's iconic friendship is said to have been inspired by Donald Glover and Danny Pudi becoming good friends off-set (Troy was originally supposed to become best friends with Pierce instead). Pudi is also known to be very tight with Alison Brie, which led to them reuniting in the film Somebody I Used to Know, written and directed by Brie and her husband Dave Franco. Meanwhile, Joel McHale and Ken Jeong would go on to host their own podcast together, and numerous other Community alums would show up as guest panelists on Jeong's game show I Can See Your Voice.

On Martin (1992), lead actresses Tisha Campbell and Tichina Arnold had previously worked together before (even appearing as the background singers in the film version of Little Shop of Horrors), but them playing Heterosexual Life Partners Gina and Pam respectively only deepened their existing friendship. Arnold also became close friends with Martin Lawrence and they remain good friends to this day, which is ironic given their characters' antagonistic relationship.

René Auberjonois (Odo) and Nana Visitor (Kira Nerys), whose warm and affectionate friendship lasted for the rest of their lives. Auberjonois passed away in late 2019, leaving Visitor devastated and lost for words.
When Michael Dorn joined the cast in season 4, he and Terry Farrell became fast friends, which soon affected storylines when the two asked for more scenes together, resulting in their characters becoming love interests and even marrying before Farrell's character was killed off due to contract disputes.

They joke that, since she had two siblings who were twins, she understood their constant bickering.

Star Trek:
Star Trek: The Original Series:
William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelley became best friends onset, much like their characters.
George Takei and Walter Koenig became friends, to the point that Takei asked Koenig to serve as the best man at his wedding to Brad Altman. They were also very close with Nichelle Nichols, who was in the wedding party.
The entire cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation became as close as their characters.
Wil Wheaton, who was later estranged from his strict Stage Mom, refers to his onscreen mother, Gates McFadden, as "Space Mom".
While shooting Tasha Yar's memorial service in "Skin Of Evil", Marina Sirtis (Troi) was actually weeping because she and Denise Crosby (Tasha) had become good friends and she was saddened to see her go.
Jonathan Frakes still refers to his onscreen love interest Marina Sirtis as "Imzadi" — a Betazed word for "beloved" which had special meaning to their characters, Will Riker and Deanna Troi.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
René Auberjonois (Odo) and Nana Visitor (Kira Nerys), whose warm and affectionate friendship lasted for the rest of their lives. Auberjonois passed away in late 2019, leaving Visitor devastated and lost for words.
When Michael Dorn joined the cast in season 4, he and Terry Farrell became fast friends, which soon affected storylines when the two asked for more scenes together, resulting in their characters becoming love interests and even marrying before Farrell's character was killed off due to contract disputes.
Star Trek: Voyager:
Kate Mulgrew (Kathryn Janeway) and Robert Picardo (the EMH) became best friends on the set, and are still very close today.
Mulgrew also became very close with Ethan Phillips, who played Neelix.

The cast of It very quickly became a close knit group of friends, especially the actors who played the Losers. There is plenty of behind-the-scenes video that show them hanging out together and having fun. There have also been many instances where the cast have posted their support for each other's projects outside of the film series. They write that they are "best friends", and encourage their followers to watch/support their work. Even years after filming they consistently stay connected through social media.

RuPaul's Drag Race: While most examples of contestants working together outside the show are queens that were already friends beforehand, there are a few that bonded during their season and became good friends afterwards. One of the most notable examples are the Season 6 finalists Adore Delano, Bianca Del Rio, Courtney Act, and Darienne Lake.note Darienne was actually the last queen eliminated before the finale, but close enough Not only was this the first season to lack any sort of rivalry among the finalists as they all had nothing but love and respect for each other, but a few years after the season, the four queens embarked on the "ABCD" Tour.

Despite voicing archenemies in Batman: The Animated Series, Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill were ironically friends in real life, with Hamill even stating he often agreed to return as the Joker in several projects Conroy returned as Batman in because he enjoyed working with Conroy — and like with the death of his Star Wars co-star Carrie Fisher, Hamill was devastated by Conroy's passing. In fact, it got to the point where Hamill retired from his long-time role as the Joker, feeling that he could not play the role without Conroy's Batman.

DC Extended Universe:
Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot became friends when filming Wonder Woman. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that Jenkins was initially frustrated at the idea that Gadot, a model, was cast as Diana/Wonder Woman. She changed her mind when watching her in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and working with her, and the rest is history.
Zack Snyder, who's already known as one of the gentlest directors to work with, befriended both Jason Momoa and Ray Fisher when making Justice League. The two actors have defended the director afterward, crediting him for being an important step in their careers and being the first cast members to call for his version of the film to be released between 2017 and 2020.

A League of Their Own: Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell first met while filming the movie. Since it was produced at the height of Madonna's fame (and controversies), O'Donnell initially thought she'd be The Prima Donna. But instead, Madonna got on well with the cast and crew and particularly cliqued with O'Donnell. The two women remain good friends to this day.

Saturday Night Live:
One of the first (and possibly the strongest) close friendships was between John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. Aykroyd was devastated after the former's 1982 death (and he was initially to play Venkman in Ghostbusters (1984)).
Similarly, there was David Spade and Chris Farley who also went on to star in Tommy Boy and Black Sheep. Notably, Spade was not at Farley's funeral since, as he put it, he didn't want "to be in a room where Chris was in a box".
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler became close friends and created a double act that has expanded across multiple hit films, well-regarded hosting gigs, and stage performances.

Game of Thrones:
Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams, who played sisters Sansa and Arya Stark, developed a deep and abiding friendship which has lasted long after the end of the series. Williams describes Turner as her "favorite person" on the show and says that because they played sisters, they became like sisters.
Jason Momoa and Emilia Clarke - who played onscreen love interests Drogo and Daenerys - became friends after meeting on the show. Clarke mentioned that the more experienced Momoa looked out for her on-set and supported her during nude scenes, including demanding she be treated better and encouraging her to speak up if she was uncomfortable. Although the last time they appeared together on the show was in Season 2, they stayed in contact and remained friends long after the show ended.
In a bit of truly delicious irony, Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister) and Hannah Waddingham (Septa Unella) — two characters whose relationship is extremely antagonistic, to say the least — became fast friends on set and are still close years after the show ended.

Doctor Who:
William Hartnell got on with most of his regular co-stars and Verity Lambert and was upset at seeing them leave. William Russell recalled that the food at Lime Grove Studio was so bad the cast would have picnics together. Peter Purves recalled that while Hartnell could be difficult, he was never difficult with him.
In contrast to Hartnell's tetchy personality, Patrick Troughton was adored by nearly everyone who worked with him due to his upbeat, easy-going nature. He credited Michael Craze and Anneke Wills with helping him find his footing and was best friends with Frazer Hines, forming an infamous pair of pranksters.
Jon Pertwee became friends with Nicholas Courtney, Katy Manning and Roger Delgado. Manning described Pertwee and Delgado as her two fathers. It was Delgado's tragic death and Manning's departure that led to Pertwee leaving the series, as he felt that family atmosphere was disappearing, though he got on very well with Elisabeth Sladen, who considered him to be her Doctor.
Tom Baker got on famously with Sladen and Ian Marter, forming one of the best-loved line-ups. Baker and Marter even wrote the unmade film script Doctor Who Meets Scratchman together. Much as Baker hated K9, he got on very well with John Leeson and they would often do The Times crossword together.
Peter Davison is friends with Sarah Sutton and Janet Fielding.
Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant became friends, as did Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred.
Christopher Eccleston speaks fondly of Billie Piper and credits her with the success of the show's relaunch. Piper was very close friends with David Tennant, while John Barrowman recalled that he and Tennant would attend Madonna concerts with their partners.
David Tennant was also good friends with Catherine Tate during her tenure on the show as Donna Noble. The two of them have since worked together on other projects, notably an RSC production of Much Ado About Nothing (as Benedick and Beatrice), and voicework on DuckTales (2017) (as Scrooge McDuck and Magica Despell).
Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, and Arthur Darvill spent three years together on the show, and even participated in a virtual reunion during the Covid Pandemic in 2020.

Once Upon a Time:
Jennifer Morrison became good friends with the people who played her parents on the show, Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas, to the point that the three even jointly dressed as the main trio from Harry Potter one Halloween. Jennifer also became incredibly close friends with Colin O'Donoghue, which helped their chemistry as lovers on-screen.
Lana Parrilla and Jared S. Gilmore became incredibly close during the filming of the show. Jared even once described their off-screen dynamic as very similar to their characters' on-screen one and said that Lana was a second mother to him. Lana also grew close to the actress who plays her sister, Rebecca Mader, and the two often call each other their best friend.
Sean Maguire and Robbie Kay ironically didn't appear on-screen together, but they ended up becoming close friends simply through doing convention panels together. At one point, the former announced that he was adopting him as a joke. He also became close with Rebecca Mader, and the two did a podcast together during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The main cast of the Mission: Impossible Film Series (Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, and Ving Rhames) seem to be quite close, especially Ferguson and Pegg, who have frequently posted pictures on social media of them goofing off on set, as well as her and Cruise, whose warm and loving real-life friendship has been largely credited for their characters' strong onscreen chemistry.

The cast and crew of The Lord of the Rings became this thanks to the three years they spent filming the movies back to back/concurrently in New Zealand. Also, while the entire cast became close, smaller groups of true companions formed between the actors playing the four hobbits (Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan, and Billy Boyd), and between the trio who played Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli (Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom, and John Rhys-Davies).

Charmed (1998):
Shannen Doherty and Holly Marie Combs were already best friends when the show started, and the former had even fought for Holly to be cast as Piper when the network execs didn't think she had enough "star power". Shannen however admitted that they lost touch in the 2010s, though fortunately, the two would resume their friendship later that decade. Interestingly enough, Shannen would later become good friends with Rose McGowan, who played her half-sister Paige in the same decade despite never starring in the show together, due to the latter's character replacing the former's character after her death in season three.
Holly Marie Combs and her on-screen husband Brian Krause are still close twenty years later, frequently doing panels together at conventions. They also bonded with Drew Fuller, who played their Kid from the Future, and eventually set up a podcast together called House of Halliwell.
Kaley Cuoco describes her first day on set as Alyssa Milano coming up to her with a hug and saying "welcome to our show". Notably, Billie was introduced as Paige's charge, but soon bonded more with Phoebe; reflecting the actresses' real-life connection.

Buffyverse:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alyson Hannigan were best friends, much like Buffy and Willow. Gellar is also friends with David Boreanaz, Emma Caulfield, Seth Green, James Marsters, Amber Benson, Charisma Carpenter and especially Michelle Trachtenberg.
Angel: Boreanez and Carpenter were close friends with Glenn Quinn, the former calling him "a dear friend" on the 20th anniversary reunion.

Interview with the Vampire (2022): By all accounts, Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid became very close during the production of the first season, and during the press tour spent time together as friends doing things like going to sticker shops and getting ice cream.

The cast of Friends all insisted on equal pay and screentime, and if they were nominated for awards, you could not nominate one of the cast for Best Lead and another for Best Supporting Cast Member. They were utterly devastated after Matthew Perry's passing in 2023, issuing a joint statement to pay tribute to him, saying "We were more than just castmates. We are a family.".

Sabrina the Teenage Witch's three lead actresses - Melissa Joan Hart, Caroline Rhea and Beth Broderick - are still close friends twenty years later, with Melissa and Beth guest-starring on Caroline's talk show, and doing many convention panels together. They've described themselves as essentially like family in real life.

The cast of Only Fools and Horses became close friends, particularly David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst, who would often play pranks onset. Jason described them as "a pair of silly Buddhas" in his autobiography and would call his costar "Nick".

The entire cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation became as close as their characters.
Wil Wheaton, who was later estranged from his strict Stage Mom, refers to his onscreen mother, Gates McFadden, as "Space Mom".
While shooting Tasha Yar's memorial service in "Skin Of Evil", Marina Sirtis (Troi) was actually weeping because she and Denise Crosby (Tasha) had become good friends and she was saddened to see her go.
Jonathan Frakes still refers to his onscreen love interest Marina Sirtis as "Imzadi" — a Betazed word for "beloved" which had special meaning to their characters, Will Riker and Deanna Troi.
