Jennifer Aniston has shared a sneak peek into the upcoming Friends reunion, set to air on HBO Max.
The 52-year-old actress, who played Rachel Green in the iconic 90s sitcom, shared a trailer for the huge event on her Instagram page.
In the first scene, the stars can be seen gathered on the old couch in Monica’s apartment as David Schwimmer, who played Ross Gellar, quizzes them on Friends facts.
He asks: "Rachel wrote Ross a letter and demanded he read it before they got back together. How many pages was that letter?"
Jennifer jumps out of her seat to answer, but Joey Tribbiani actor Matt LeBlanc gets there first as he yells: "18 pages!"
"Front and back!" Jen chimes in.
In another short clip, Phoebe Buffay actress Lisa Kudrow can be seen walking into the set for the first time, exclaiming: "Oh my god."
And the actors all share an emotional hug as Jennifer asks: "Where’s the tissue box?"
The six icons explore the old apartment set, with Matt asking: "Does Courteney [Cox] still have her lines written on the table?"
"We’ve literally just slipped right back," Jennifer says, as Lisa chips in: "We have such a bond from this show."
The stars go on to take some fan questions during an audience Q&A, as they share a few anecdotes from their time filming together – and even gather around a table to reenact some iconic scenes.
"It was an incredible time. We became best friends," Courteney tells the camera.
Even Janice actor Maggie Wheeler makes an appearance with her legendary catchphrase: "Oh. My. God!"
Posting the clip to her Instagram, Jen captioned the post: "I love my friends," with a red heart emoji. "Leaving this here… #FriendsReunion."
Fans immediately swarmed to the comments section to share their excitement for the show, which will be available to stream from May 27.
"Cannot wait!" one penned.
Another typed: "Oh my God! This looks insane! I can’t wait!"
While another frenzied fan wrote: "Am I dreaming?"

"OMG I waited so much for this moment! I love you guys!" someone else gushed.
The reunion episode, dubbed The One Where They Get Back Together, won’t actually see the stars portraying their much-loved characters – they’ll simply be appearing as themselves.
HBO Max revealed in a statement: "In order to avoid any misunderstanding about what this special is, we want to make it very clear that this is not a new, original episode of the series.
"The cast will be appearing as themselves, not as their beloved characters."

It’s been a long time coming, as the stars struggle to find time for all six of them to meet up and hang out.
Matthew Perry, who played Chandler Bing, opened up about keeping up with his group of friends, admitting: "While being a really close-knit group, we don’t see each other, all six of us, a lot."
David added: "I think over the years we’ve all struggled with different obstacles and challenges, and I think in those times it’s been nice to be able to reach out and touch base and have a call."
