The much-anticipated HBO Max reunion special for Friends is officially set to begin filming next week. According to Deadline and actor David Green, the original cast will gather in Los Angeles to shoot the special that fans have eagerly awaited for years.
Titled “The One Where They Got Back Together”
The reunion was first announced in late 2019 and was expected to be filmed in early 2020. However, the pandemic led to delays. In February, set designer Greg Anderson shared a glimpse of the set, but circumstances quickly changed when the world was struck by COVID-19. Now, with conditions improving in Los Angeles, the cast will return to the iconic Warner Bros. lot where they filmed the beloved show in the 90s.
“We’re going to be shooting the Friends reunion next week,” David Green shared on the Graham Norton show on April 2, 2021. “I’m excited to see everyone for the first time in many years.”
He emphasized that the reunion will be unscripted, offering a more casual experience akin to a real-life gathering rather than a scripted reboot. “I’ll be myself, I’ll be David,” he noted. “There’s nothing scripted. We’re not ‘in character,’ but there is a section where we all read something,” he added, hinting at some surprises.
So while you won’t see Ross, Rachel, or Monica in character, you will witness an authentic reunion among Matthew Perry, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Green, and Matt LeBlanc, alongside the show’s creators.
Jennifer Aniston mentioned over the summer that the delays allowed them to enhance the reunion, making it even more exciting. The cast’s desire to film in front of a live audience—a crucial element to capture the essence of the original sitcom—has kept them waiting for the right moment when it would be safe to gather. With vaccines rolling out, that moment has finally arrived.
All 236 episodes of Friends are currently available on HBO Max, and hopefully, fans won’t have to wait too long for the reunion episode. Now, let’s all say it together: could we BE any happier?
