Jennifer Aniston and Matt LeBlanc were there for each other — and Ben Affleck — in Dunkin's 2026 Super Bowl commercial.

The actress, 57, reunited with her Friends costar for the ad, which saw a group of TV stars from iconic '90s sitcoms put a twist on Affleck's 1997 movie Good Will Hunting.

Speaking with PEOPLE exclusively about the exciting and nostalgic moment, Aniston says, "It was just great fun. I love Ben, and it was fun to see Matty, of course."

"That was a good one," the star, who continues her ongoing partnership with Pvolve for its new "Express Series," adds. "Super Bowl commercials are so fun, and it was such a crazy, funny idea. I was like, 'How are you going to do this?' "

In the commercial, which aired during Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8, a younger-looking Affleck (thanks to CGI) appears with long, blonde hair, mimicking that of Matt Damon’s in Good Will Hunting.

A similarly de-aged LeBlanc and Aniston (with Tom Brady) make hilarious cameos, as do stars from other major 1990s shows, including Cheers’ Ted Danson, A Different World’s Jasmine Guy, Family Matters' Jaleel White, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's Alfonso Ribeiro and Seinfeld’s Jason Alexander.

Dunkin's 2026 Super Bowl ad marked the company's fourth collaboration with Affleck, 53. The full spot followed two teaser clips, including one PEOPLE exclusively shared that hinted at a reunion between Affleck and a "Matt" and a "Jennifer" — leading fans to think it was the actor's best friend, Damon, and his ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez.

In Affleck's first Super Bowl collab with the coffee chain in 2023, he played a Dunkin' employee serving unsuspecting attendees drinks and treats in a hidden camera-like spot. (At one point, a surprised Lopez, 56, arrives at the drive-up window and jokes, "Is that what you do when you say you're going to work all day?")

A year later, the bar was set high for a follow-up commercial. In the 2024 spot, Affleck, Damon, 55, and Brady, 48, attempted to form a Dunkin'-themed boyband called DunKings, and the ad brought to life a line of DunKings-themed apparel — including the famous jumpsuits and an Affleck-themed coffee drink.

Last year, Dunkin’ continued the DunKings story (and even dropped a related 7-minute “movie”) featuring Affleck's musical group, but with a slightly different group. Jeremy Strong, Casey Affleck, Bill Belichick, Jordon Hudson and Donnie Wahlberg all starred in the 2025 spot.
