The break is finally over! Fifteen years after it came to an end, Friends will return to our screens for a one-off special. Here is everything we know about the HBO Max show so far.
After months (and even years) of speculation, the moment we have all been waiting for has finally been confirmed, and in the best way.
All six of the original stars of Friends posted a throwback photo to Instagram with two words: “It’s happening…”. It being the highly-anticipated reunion special of the beloved sitcom, which ran for 10 seasons between 1994 and 2004.
Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow will return for the unscripted and, as-yet, untitled special on HBO Max.
Here is everything we know about the show so far.
Who is in the cast for the Friends reunion special?
The original stars will all reunite at the original Friends soundstage – Stage 24, at the Warner Bros. Studio in Burbank – to film the one-off special. All six are also set to executive produce, alongside fellow Friends alums Kevin Bright, Marta Kauffman and David Crane. According to Variety, each will receive at least $2.5 million (£1.92 million) for their appearance.
What is the Friends reunion special about?
Friends reunion special: it is still unscripted and untitled.
It is still unclear exactly what the special will entail. The “unscripted” part makes it seem unlikely that we will be treated to a new episode per se, rather it is more likely to be a classic TV reunion where the cast will catch up and relive the old days. But hey, we will take what we can get.
