After years of pleading from fans,
the cast of NBC’s hit series,
‘Friends,’ are officially reuniting.
The untitled, unscripted special will feature all six original cast members.
They are: Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow,
Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer.
News of the long-awaited ‘Friends’ reunion was first
shared by the castmates on their social media pages.
Five of the six shared the
same image of the group with
the caption, “it’s happening,”.
while LeBlanc chose to humorously post a photo
of the original ‘M*A*S*H*’ cast instead.
According to chief content officer Kevin Reilly, the reunion special will unite “original and new fans” of the show.
"Guess you could call this the one
where they all got back together …
we think this reunion special
will capture that spirit, uniting
original and new fans." Kevin Reilly, via 'Entertainment Weekly'
The reunion special, as well as all 236 episodes
of the ‘Friends’ series, will be available on HBO Max
when it launches in May 2020.
