The Friends Cast Set to Reunite for Exclusive HBO Max Special Unscripted Cast Reunion Special, Along with All 236 episodes of the Emmy -Winning Series, will be Available to Subscribers at the Launch of HBO Max
BURBANK, CA - FEBRUARY 21, 2020 - It's official, Friends fans! After 15 years, nine months, and innumerable fan requests from around the globe, we now have the brand-new information' you've been waiting for. The Friends cast will be reuniting exclusively for an untitled unscripted special for HBO Max, WarnerMedia's direct-to-consumer offering debuting in May 2020.
Series stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer will return to the iconic comedy's original soundstage, Stage 24, on the Warner Bros. Studio lot in Burbank for a celebration of the beloved show. The unscripted cast reunion special, along with all 236 episodes of the Emmy -winning series, will be available to subscribers at the launch of HBO Max.
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, said Kevin Reilly, chief content officer, HBO Max and president, TBS, TNT, and truTV. 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.
Ben Winston will direct the special and will executive produce along with Friends executive producers Kevin Bright, Marta Kauffman, and David Crane. The special hails from Warner Bros. Unscripted & Alternative Television and Fulwell 73 Productions. Aniston, Cox, Kudrow, LeBlanc, Perry, and Schwimmer will also executive produce the special. Emma Conway and James Longman are co-executive producers.
To get caught up on original Friends episodes, sister WarnerMedia network TBS recently announced that for the next four weeks every episode of Friends will air on TBS and livestream on the TBS app, weekdays from 10:00am - 4:00pm. Additionally, the network has curated an experience for fans offering the best of the series on their digital platforms.
