Friends’ Reunion Special is Arriving This Month on HBO Max with Major Guest Stars

Fans of the hit show Friends will be thrilled to learn that the show is having its reunion special air this month on HBO Max.

The highly anticipated Friends’ Reunion Special will air on May 27th after being delayed multiple times due to production shutdowns amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The HBO reunion show will feature all six “Friends” stars — Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer.

The airing will be on exactly one year after it was originally expected to debut on the streaming service.

According to estimates, each actor was paid $2.5 million for participating in the special.

“Friends” aired its final episode in 2004 but has been a big part of pop culture ever since with re-runs streaming.

Last year all 10 seasons of the show left Netflix and went to HBO Max in a deal that is rumored to have cost WarnerMedia around $400 million. The show originally aired on NBC.

Friends: The Reunion, which is directed by Ben Winston, will feature a variety of all-star guests including David Beckham, Justin Bieber, BTS, James Corden, Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Lady Gaga, Elliott Gould, Kit Harington, Larry Hankin, Mindy Kaling, Thomas Lennon, Christina Pickles, Tom Selleck, James Michael Tyler, Maggie Wheeler, Reese Witherspoon and Malala Yousafzai.

Cox, 56, had said how “unbelievable” and “emotional” the experience was for the cast after filming wrapped in early April in remarks on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on May 6. “It’s an unscripted reunion but we got to be on Stage 24 for the first time, all of us, in like … I forgot how many years. 15 years? Or 17 years?” she added.
