HBO Max has announced that the long-awaited “Friends” reunion special will soon be seen on its OTT platform on the 27th of May. All six original characters — Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer —are coming back for the extraordinary and special show, titled “Friends: The Reunion”.
On Thursday the platform delivered a teaser trailer for the special that showed the core cast walking in a way with their backs facing the camera. An acoustic version of the show’s trademark melody pipes in the backdrop.
“F.R.I.E.N.D.S.: The Reunion” will premier on the first anniversary of the launch of HBO Max and exactly one year after it was originally supposed to air, the streamer said in a statement.
However, the special was delayed various times due to the production closedown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It was incipiently set to film in February 2020 but was only able to begin filming in April this year.
Labeled as a “real-life unscripted recognition of the beloved show”, the unscripted special will see Aniston, Cox, Kudrow, LeBlanc, Perry, and Schwimmer retort to the iconic comedy’s real soundstage, Stage 24, on the Warner Bros Studio lot in Burbank.
It will feature a variety of special guests including Justin Bieber, David Beckham, BTS, Thomas Lennon, Christina Pickles, Tom Selleck, James Michael Tyler, James Corden, Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Lady Gaga, Elliott Gould, Kit Harington, Larry Hankin, Mindy Kaling, Maggie Wheeler, Reese Witherspoon and Malala Yousafzai.
Fans of the show have showered their love and excitement on social media. A short view of the same is as follows –
“Me looking at the producers trying to find out why Paul Rudd isn’t going to make an appearance #FriendsReunion”
