After 17 years the entire cast of the iconic 90's sitcom Friends will be reunited in a new almost two-hour-long special and we have all the details on how you can watch Friends: The Reunion on TV or online.
Friends first premiered on NBC back in September of 1994 and the series ran all the way until May of 2004. In its ten years on the air, the show had a total of 236 twenty-minute episodes that followed the lives and loves of a close-knit group of friends living in New York City.
Now after almost two decades, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer will return to the show's original soundstage (Stage 24) on the Warner Bros. Studio lot in Burbank, California for an unscripted celebration of the beloved series.
In Friends: The Reunion, the entire cast of Friends will participate in a trivia game about the show to see who remembers the series most. There will also be a table read of an episode from season 4 titled "The One With the Jellyfish" as well as a Q&A moderated by the reunion special's host James Gorden. Unlike some of the other reunion specials we saw last year, Friends: The Reunion will be pre-taped in front of a live studio audience as opposed to being held on Zoom.
As the reunion special has a runtime of one hour and forty-four minutes, HBO Max has scheduled a few surprise appearances from former cast members and guest stars including Reese Witherspoon, Tom Selleck, Christina Pickles, James Michael Tyler, Maggie Wheeler, Thomas Lennon, Larry Hankin, Cindy Crawford, and Elliott Gould. However, famous fans of the show like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, BTS, Cara Delevingne, Kit Harington and more will also be making an appearance.
