Different from the Class Reunion, the Reunion Show is an opportunity for the surviving cast of a defunct TV show — off the air for anywhere from 5 to 50 years — to get back together on screen. Usually this is an "in character" story showing how things are "now", but sometimes it can be an explicit reunion of the cast in tribute to the original show. Unlike a Revival series (such as Still the Beaver and the at-one-time-endless progression of sequels to The Brady Bunch), the Reunion Show is a one-shot event. (Sometimes, though, reunions can spawn sequels.) Oddly, "in-character" comedy reunions tend to turn serious, if not outright dramatic, while most other shows are not altered. Reunion shows are usually made to cash in on the nostalgia modern audiences can hold for an older program. Typically done as a Made-for-TV Movie. Not to be confused with The Film of the Series. Often accompanied by a Documentary with the actors out-of-character. Examples |

Happy Days has had two so far, one in 1992 and one in 2005. Both were clip/interview specials. Spin-Off Laverne & Shirley has also had two, in 1995 and 2002. Again, both were clip/interview specials, although the latter also featured an in-character skit. |

Digimon The seventh season, Digimon Xros Wars: The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time, brought us a brief meeting of Taichi, Daisuke, Takato, Takuya, and Masaru. This is a bit of an odd example, more of a Pandering to the Base Crossover, as the "reunion" is a reunion for the fans only. Only Taichi and Daisuke ever met each other in canon; the others all exist in their own Alternate Universe and never met each other to begin with. |

Dicey Dungeons: The Reunion DLC is a Playable Epilogue where the six contestants return to Lady Luck's dungeon since they've escaped the dungeon 2 1/2 years ago. Since then, Thief has a lucrative career as Warrior's talent agent, Warrior is promoting his new workout manualnote he is barely literate, Witch got the millions of social media followers she wanted (thus negating the Be Careful What You Wish For moral), Inventor is making a miniature model of the dungeon, Robot has recently learned German and is using that to learn Korean, and Jester refuses to speak to Lady Luck as per the terms laid on the contract. | |

Doctor Who Magazine occasionally marks notable anniversaries with a story in its comic strip reuniting various characters: Issue 250's strip, "A Life of Matter and Death", brought back many of the comic's characters in a battle inside the TARDIS's mind. Issue 282's strip, "Happy Deathday", commemorating the 35th anniversary of Doctor Who, pitted the then-Eight Doctors against a Legion of Doom of their greatest villains. Issue 500's strip, "The Stockbridge Showdown", had the Twelfth Doctor team up with most of the living DWM comic companions to fight one of the strip's big villains. |

Power Rangers: Almost every season from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy onward will have at least one reunion show where the team from the previous series teamed up with that of the current one to fight a threat from their equally-Enemy Mine minded villains. The most extreme case of this, however, was the ten-year Milestone Celebration Forever Red, where all the Red Rangers from all seasons prior to Power Rangers Wild Force teamed up to stop The Remnant of the Machine Empire from rebuilding Serpentera. The fifteenth anniversary episode Once a Ranger (in Power Rangers Operation Overdrive) features one Ranger from each of the past four seasons, led by one from the second season, returned to pinch-hit for the temporarily-depowered regulars. The show's 20th anniversary, Super Megaforce, brought back various veteran Rangers played by Jason David Frank, Sean Cw Johnson, Alison MacInnis, Jason Faunt, Danny Slavin, Patricia Ja Lee - plus most of the rangers of Power Rangers Samurai. |

Red Dwarf got a three-part one titled Back to Earth that revolved around the crew hallucinating that they had arrived on earth to find out that they're fictional characters on a television show entitled Red Dwarf. Notable in that it apparently takes place after a fictional Series IX and Series X, which is used as an excuse to perform a Snap Back and wipe away various unpopular status quo changes and Series VIII's Cliffhanger ending without an actual explanation. Proved to be enough of a ratings success to warrant the series getting Uncancelled. Back to Earth was originally planned to be paired with another reunion special titled Red Dwarf Unplugged that would have had the actors performing various classic scenes in front of a studio audience. It was eventually decided that it just wasn't working, resulting in Back to Earth being stretched into a three-parter. |

The 1957-66 Perry Mason television series had one, in the form of Perry Mason Returns (1985), featuring returning leads Raymond Burr and Barbara Hale. And another, in the form of Perry Mason: The Case of the Notorious Nun (1986). And another, in the form of Perry Mason: The Case of the Shooting Star (1986)... and a staggering 27 more Made For TV Movies made afterwards until 1995 (with Burr dying in 1993 and paving the way for several Suspiciously Similar Substitutes for the last four, with the umbrella title rechristened A Perry Mason Mystery). | |

In Critical Role: Campaign Three, older versions of Keyleth, Percy, Vex, Pike, and Trinket from Vox Machina all play key roles in "A Desperate Call" and "A Dark Balance", only now portrayed as NPCs by Matthew Mercer. Still, the cast views it as a reunion of sorts, even while playing entirely different characters. | |

Most notable of these was "Farewell, Sarah Jane", which served as a reunion special for the spinoff The Sarah Jane Adventures after star Elisabeth Sladen's passing cancelled it prematurely back in 2012. Main characters Luke, Clyde, and Rani returned all grown up, along with Jo Grant, Ace, and Rani's mother Gita. | |

Gilligan's Island had three of these in the late '70s and early '80s (Rescue from Gilligan's Island, The Castaways on Gilligan's Island and The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island, respectively). The ratings success of the first one led to talk of a revival series, but Sherwood Schwartz (concerned with the aging cast doing weekly comedic stunts) preferred two additional movies instead. To a lesser extent, the short-lived cartoon series The New Adventures of Gilligan and Gilligan's Planet also reunited all but one of the original cast as their characters. Another case was an episode of the forgotten 90's show Meegonote one of the byproducts of CBS Block Party, the channel's failed rival block to ABC's TGIF; the channel hops of Family Matters and Step by Step for their final seasons were also for this purpose, where many of the surviving Gilligan cast appeared in character. It never aired in the US, but on Sky 1 in the UK. |

The Odd Couple: Together Again (1993) reunited Jack Klugman (Oscar) and Tony Randall (Felix) from the 1970-75 series. The movie incorporated the throat surgery that caused Klugman to lose much of his voice as a plot point for Oscar. Apart from the two leads, Penny Marshall (Myrna) and Garry Walberg ("Speed") were the only other actors from the series to appear. | |

Kingdom Hearts was a Reunion Game for the voice casts of several Disney classics through the last century; most of the original cast returned (including people such as James Woods as Hades, and BRIAN BLESSED as Clayton as well as the original voice of Alice and Wendy a good 50 years after the initial films came out). Some of the cast of The Nightmare Before Christmas returned, as did most of Aladdin (save Robin Williams, who was already recast since the TV series in the 90's), Hercules, The Little Mermaid (save Samuel E. Wright), Tarzan, and Beauty and the Beast (save Jerry Orbach who had since passed away). The most no-shows were The Lion King with only Ernie Sabella as Pumbaa and Cheech Marin as Banzai, and Pirates of the Caribbean where the entire cast was shooting the sequels and couldn't make it (although Johnny Depp supposedly really wanted to do it). Geoffrey Rush did come back to voice Barbossa, but only in Australian copies. | |

In a rare case of a specific team coming back entirely on their own, Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger had a "Ten Years Later" V-Cinema special in 2013. In 2015, Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger got the same treatment, while in 2018, Engine Sentai Go-onger got one as well, in 2021 Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger also got one. 2023 would see the cast of Hurricaneger return again for a 20th anniversary special, followed by one for Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger in 2024. | |

Seinfeld didn't have a real reunion show; however, in the series Curb Your Enthusiasm, where co-creator Larry David plays a fictionalized version of himself, there was a storyline in which he reunited the cast (who played themselves, and themselves playing the Seinfeld characters) for a reunion show. An episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee featured George Costanza as Jerry's guest for the episode, with a cameo appearance from Newman. Which is weird, because in another episode, he had on an out-of-character Michael Richards. |

Drake & Josh's Christmas Special was made 18 months after the show ended. It may not seem like a long time, but because the show dealt with teenagers, it was obvious that they were too old for the show, and Josh's actor is Formerly Fat. Making it worse was that the movie was only supposed to take place a few weeks after the Grand Finale. | |

"Twice Upon a Time" (2017) is an odd case. While it does feature the First Doctor, his original actor William Hartnell had long since passed away.

Kamen Rider did teamups between the present and past seasons for a good 11 years in the Showa era shows, each one having a progressively larger cast. Kamen Rider Ryuki had a Direct to Video team-up between its heroes and predecessor Kamen Rider Agito, even if Agito was a Fake Shemp (the thing turned out to be All Just a Dream anyways). Kamen Rider Den-O & Kiva: Climax Deka is probably the most in the spirit of the trope, featuring the full casts of both shows. The Kamen Rider ZX TV special brought together all of the previous Rider characters, and the first Kamen Rider Decade movie does the same. In Decade, the original cast of a Rider show is replaced (handwaved by Decade being an Alternate Universe traveler), but most of Den-O and Kamen Rider Hibiki's casts as well as key characters from Kiva, plus those summoned by Narutaki and Kivara (the Hoppers, Kaixa, and Ohja) are reprisals. The eighth movie in the Den-O series is the movie of the franchise's 40th year and thus brings all main Riders up to Kamen Rider OOO, with particular focus on OOO, Den-O, and the Double Riders. Like Super Sentai's "Vs." series, Kamen Rider recently started a series of movies of this nature, collectively known as Movie Wars. Kamen Rider OOO is notably the first Kamen Rider series getting the "Ten Years Later" treatment in 2022. Kamen Rider Zi-O, the twentieth and final Heisei series, follows a format closer to Gokaiger above where the main character can gain the power of his predecessors by earning their approval (or that of their trusted allies). Toei was able to bring back actors from all the past Heisei series except Kuuga, including about half of the protagonists, to reprise their roles. |

I Spy got two. One was a standard made-for-TV movie titled I Spy Returns that featured Robert Culp and Bill Cosby reprising their TV roles in a backdoor pilot for a "next generation" spin-off that never sold. And in 1999, Culp and Cosby reunited on Cosby's sitcom - conveniently titled Cosby - for an All Just a Dream episode in which Cosby's sitcom character, after watching an episode of I Spy on TV, dreams that he is Alexander Scott, sharing an adventure with Kelly Robinson (Culp). | |

Radio Active has had two since ending in 1987. The first, in 2002, was an "in character" reunion looking at what had happened to the eponymous station in the 25 years since the last series. The second, in 2016, was essentially a new recording of one of the old episodes, slightly rewritten to work around the absence of Geoffrey Perkins, who died in 2008. | |

The Monkees had Hey, Hey, It’s the Monkees in 1997, which featured all four members in their wacky, not-yet-famous TV personas 30 years later, and was written and directed by Michael Nesmith. It was humorous in that their TV show which they “knew” they were on, had continued running, though not been aired, after all these years. The “plot” centered around finding a decent… well, “plot” to finish off the rest of the production money for the show (whilst preparing for a gig at “The Most Prestigious Country Club In the World”). | |

Critical Role: While the core cast is generally the same, each campaign has different characters, so any one-off reunion specials post-campaign ending are treated as such by the characters, if not by the actors: "The Search for Grog", "The Search for Bob", and "Dalen's Closet" were all one-shots that served as reunion specials for Vox Machina ( sans the deceased Vax in all but one case). "Exandria Unlimited: Kymal" reunited four of the six members of the Crowns Keepers from the first iteration of "Exandria Unlimited" (since Orym and Fearne were busy being characters in the main Bells Hell campaign). In Critical Role: Campaign Three, older versions of Keyleth, Percy, Vex, Pike, and Trinket from Vox Machina all play key roles in "A Desperate Call" and "A Dark Balance", only now portrayed as NPCs by Matthew Mercer. Still, the cast views it as a reunion of sorts, even while playing entirely different characters. "The Mighty Nein Reunited" was a two-parter set six months after the end of Campaign 2 (but really taking place over two years later) that saw most of the Mighty Nein come back together to tie up the dangling plot thread of U'katoa. |

The Oprah Winfrey Show had a few of these in its final season, including one with Oprah's former competitors, Ricki Lake, Donahue, and Sally Jessy Raphael. She also reunited with Iyanla Vanzant, who she had a falling out with after she refused to do a Spin-Off show with Oprah and went to another network. | |

Doctor Who is unique among all TV series as its reunion episodes feature the different actors who have played the same character. To date there have been: "The Three Doctors" (1972-73; featuring the First, Second and Third Doctors, done to celebrate the show's 10th anniversary) "The Five Doctors" (1983; featuring the first five Doctors, plus a number of former co-stars, done to celebrate the show's 20th anniversary) "The Two Doctors" (1985, featuring the Second Doctor and popular 1960s companion character Jamie McCrimmon joining the incumbent Sixth Doctor and Peri; not done with any specific celebration in mind, the production team just wanted the chance to work with Patrick Troughton again.) "Dimensions in Time" (1993, a mini-special shown as an item during Children in Need that featured the Third to Seventh Doctors and various former companions) "Time Crash" (2007 comedy minisode featuring the Fifth and Tenth Doctors) "The Day of the Doctor" (2013, featuring the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors, plus the recently introduced War Doctor, for the 50th anniversary) This list does not count additional episodes such as "Mawdryn Undead" (1983) and "School Reunion" (2006) which featured the return of individual cast members from the show's past. "Twice Upon a Time" (2017) is an odd case. While it does feature the First Doctor, his original actor William Hartnell had long since passed away. However, his replacement David Bradley had previously played Hartnell himself in An Adventure in Space and Time, a docudrama about the earliest days of the series. Doctor Who: Lockdown! was a series of web video one-off minisodes made during the COVID-19 Pandemic in early 2020, some of which featured former series actors returning via Console Cameo to reprise their roles: Most notable of these was "Farewell, Sarah Jane", which served as a reunion special for the spinoff The Sarah Jane Adventures after star Elisabeth Sladen's passing cancelled it prematurely back in 2012. Main characters Luke, Clyde, and Rani returned all grown up, along with Jo Grant, Ace, and Rani's mother Gita. "The Best of Days" reunited companions Bill Potts and Nardole from Series 10, three years after their character last appeared. "The Descendants of Pompeii" is an odd case, as it reunited guest cast members from a single episode — "The Fires of Pompeii" — as the modern descendants/reincarnations of their Ancient Roman characters from that episode. |

While the cast were continually together for yearly video games, 2008's Yo! The Return of Son Goku and Friends! was the first proper bit of Dragon Ball animation since the series ended in 1997. 2013's Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods is similar in this regard too, despite having the Recut Dragon Ball Z Kai as a recent thing. For bonus points, both of the stories are actually reunions for the characters too set between the end of the main story and the Distant Finale. | |

Titan's Doctor Who comics have sometimes had their big yearly event be a Doctor teamup: Their first, Four Doctors, had the revival series Doctors (War to Twelve) all make an appearance in some form. Their third, The Lost Dimension, had all the Doctors make an appearance in some capacity, plus a few former guest stars. |

The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show have both had reunion TV movies since 2000. The former was a two-hour TV-Movie titled Mary & Rhoda and only featuring those characters. The latter was instead a single half-hour episode, but it reunited the surviving cast and featured clips of those that had passed on. | |

"A Reunion ...", the second-season premiere of Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23, deconstructed this trope. James van der Beek, who plays himself as a regular, regularly turns down his Dawson's Creek castmates' letters requesting a reunion. June, a fan when she was a teen, tries to suggest that he do it, and succeeds ... only for Chloe to let her know that she writes the letters, so James will feel powerful by rejecting them and thus she can get him to grant any wish of hers. June is undeterred, so Chloe drugs her and then spends six hours showing him DVDs of bad reunion shows from other shows (like The Facts of Life Goes to Paris) and reveals she's been the one writing the letters. James later reconsiders, but finds out from Busy Phillips that his former castmates all still hate him for not paying his share for a final gift to the crew, and won't say no outright but won't do it, either. Undeterred, he corners Frankie Muniz in the supermarket to pitch an idea for a combined reunion show, but Chloe again foils that. At the end, Mark-Paul Gosselaar appears to persuade James to live in the present, and they have a Viking Funeral for Dawson's Creek in the Central Park lake. | |

Green Acres had a reunion show in 1990 called "Return to Green Acres", which showed Oliver and Lisa still living on the farm. Most of the original cast was in it, but it was way too sappy and serious, especially when contrasted with the absurdist humor of the original series. | |

The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon has had fun with getting actors from specific shows to reprise their characters in an obviously non-canon skit. One of his first was getting Danny Tanner, Jesse Katsopolis and Joey Gladstone (Bob Saget, John Stamos, & Dave Coulier respectively) from Full House to comfort him about the opportunity to host the Tonight Show, complete with Full House's trademark Sentimental Music Cue. Another involved getting most of the cast of Saved by the Bell to lampoon all the memorable bits from that show. | |

Friends has had numerous campaigns for a reunion Where Are They Now episode for the characters. The writers have had to put down several rumours and it's the number one question the actors face. Matthew Perry for his part refuses to take part a reunion as it is a personal nightmare of his. Friends ended up having a cast reunion in 2021 (when the show moved from Netflix to HBO Max) in which the original cast revisited the set, had a joint interview with James Corden, and reminisced about the show. The reunion also featured interviews with co-creators Marta Kaufmann and David Crane, and executive producer Kevin Bright. |
