After years of making back to back films Aniston, who will turn 50 next year, made no films released in 2017. She’ll soon be seen in the war drama The Yellow Birds and musical comedy Dumplin’.

Aniston has also signed up for her first regular TV role since Friends wrapped, she’s working on a new sitcom for Apple TV.
