‘Friends’ Cast to Reunite for Exclusive HBO Max Special

Got Friends? The hit TV show, Friends is finally doing a reunion. After 16 years, the cast is coming back. It ran from 1994 - 2004 with 236 episodes. Binge watching the entire series would take close to 100 hours.

Funny thing is that I came across the Pilot episode of the show. Everyone looks so young in. Air day of the Pilot was in 1994.

A show like this is somewhat bitter sweet. It will not only remind you how good the show was, but also how much you miss watching it.

Airs in March only on HBO.

‘Friends’ Cast to Reunite for Exclusive HBO Max Special

By Elaine Low, Variety.com

It’s happening: The “Friends” cast is reuniting for an exclusive untitled unscripted special on HBO Max.

Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer will return to the original “Friends” soundstage, Stage 24, on the Warner Bros. Studio lot in Burbank to celebrate the long-running series, which ended its run in 2004.

Sources close to the situation tell Variety the six stars will receive at least $2.5 million apiece for participating in the special.

The reunion has been hotly anticipated, with speculation about the HBO Max special swirling since last fall, just months after the WarnerMedia-created SVOD platform nabbed the streaming rights to the show from Netflix in a deal with Warner Bros. Television. All 10 seasons of the comedy left Netflix at the end of 2019, meaning that “Friends” has thus far not been available to stream in the U.S. this calendar year — at least, not until HBO Max launches in May.
