The rumors about a long-awaited Friends reunion are true, with fans of the ‘90s sitcom rejoicing over the announcement the cast will be getting back together for a special unscripted show. According to The Wrap, Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Courtney Cox, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, and Matt LeBlanc will all return to the sitcom’s original soundstage on the Warner Bros. Studio lot in Burbank, California. The unscripted reunion, together with all 236 Friends episodes, will be available to HBO Max subscribers when the streaming service launches in May.
“Guess you could call this the one where they all got back together — we are reuniting with David, Jennifer, Courteney, Matt, Lisa, and Matthew for an HBO Max special that will be programmed alongside the entire ‘Friends’ library,” Kevin Reilly, chief content officer, HBO Max and president, TBS, TNT, and truTV, said in a statement to The Wrap. “I became aware of ‘Friends’ when it was in the very early stages of development and then had the opportunity to work on the series many years later and have delighted in seeing it catch on with viewers generation after generation. It taps into an era when friends – and audiences – gathered together in real time and we think this reunion special will capture that spirit, uniting original and new fans.” HBO Max is set to launch sometime in May and will cost $14.99 per month.
