HBO Max had plans to launch the Friends reunion special in May. However, it has been delayed because of the current pandemic. But, the cast is just as excited as us. Each of them feels over the moon to work together on stage and get into character. According to Marta Kauffman, the co-creator of the show, the shooting should start in August and if everything goes well, it would air.

The reunion is set to include all the major six cast members. It means that you would get to see Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow, Courtney Cox, and Jennifer Aniston on screen as well as the co-creator David Krane and Kauffman. It will be first time that we will get to see the entire cast of Friends together. The special episode is set to film at Stage 24 in Burbank at Warner Bros Studio.
