FRIENDS THE REUNION is set to release on May 27th on HBO Max. Yes it is happening! It is the news that fans of FRIENDS have been waiting years for and that is 16 years to be precise). Could we be more excited? I am a big big fan of FRIENDS. I have watched all the episodes and re-watched them too. Back in the 90s, I would record all the episodes (236 episodes in 10 seasons altogether) on the DVD and kept them according to season. Then when I felt like it, I would do a FRIENDS marathon. When the final episode aired on May 6, 2004, I cried and was heartbroken. I so miss Central Perk and Monica’s living room.
According to the news online, the cast returned to the original Friends soundstage on the Warner Brother Studio in California. This new episode is more of a nostalgic show with the cast as they go behind the scenes and share insights into the show. It will not be a new original episode of the series. The cast will be appearing as themselves and not their characters.
There will be special guests such as David Beckham, Justin Bieber, BTS, James Corden, Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Lady Gaga, Kit Harington, Larry Hankin, Mindy Kaling, Tom Selleck, Reese Witherspoon and Malala Yousafzai. I can’t wait!
