The show's stars — Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer – virtual unknowns when the show began, will return to the Warner Bros. soundstage where the show was shot, the statement said.
"Guess you could call this the one where they all got back together..." said Kevin Reilly, chief content officer of HBO Max, in the press release. Reilly, a longtime media executive who also serves as president of cable channels TNT, TBS and truTV, said he had the opportunity to work on the show during some of its 10-year-run on NBC. He said he was"delighted" the show continues to connect with audiences long after its original run ended in 2004, adding he hopes the reunion will recreated that same spark with audiences new and old.
"It taps into an era when friends – and audiences – gathered together in real time and we think this reunion special will capture that spirit, uniting original and new fans." Cox, who played Monica Gellar, whose character quirks included obsessive cleanliness, posted on Instagram a photo of the cast along with a caption that read simply,"It's happening...."
Never watched it before not going to start
Sorry hbo but nice try. Still not paying for your services.
Hopefully they don’t ruin this like they did with the most recent ghostbusters movie or dark tower
No one cares.
Nooooooooooo Ooooooooooo Oooooooooo Ooooooooo Oooooooo Ooooooo Oooooo Ooooo Oooo Ooo Oo O Oo Ooo Oooo Ooooo Oooooo Ooooooo Oooooooo Ooooooooo Oooooooooo
I’m unfriending
Rachel and her daughter have been on welfare since deadbeat Ross got busted for screwing a 13 year old girl, Phoebe is homeless, Joey works with the carnival, Monica and what's his name are both working multiple jobs so the kids can go to rehab again.
Trash then, trash now.
That doesn't sound like a new story with the characters...
Why ?
I never really understood why people liked that show. It wasn't even mildly amusing, let alone actually funny.
🤮
Why HBO? Well that's a kick in the a$$ to the people that supported the show and don't have cable.
Nobody cares.
Only if they use a rewrite of The Big Chill's screenplay.

Will the laugh track also return?
It ain't a reunion unless Marcel is there.
Missed sixteen seasons. Probably will skip the special.
Guess they ran out of money?
How’s about we don’t and say we did
Who cares?
Rather watch dog shit dry into dust..
Out of work dry spell evidently.
Fuck that.
Reunion Hall of Shame. Is a variety show next?
Snore
Too bad. I was hoping one wouldn’t do it and then the producers would substitute a new actor in that role like they did with Jan on TheBradyBunch
There are more beneficial ways of wasting $15 million.
I don’t care

Why? They broke?
Yeah, but nope.
this is major

Everyone in these comments.
Over/Under on the Trump insults......?
Don’t care.
Nothing is new anymore. Everything has to be brought back. Vampirized. Next we will be told there will be remakes of Leave it to Beaver, Twilight Zone, Andy Griffin Show...have writers lack originality?
No offense to NPR, but really. I'll never understand people's fixation with that dumbass show. It's terribly unwatchable. This new thing will be even more so.
Please no
No, thank you.
The producers were so busy concerned with what they could, they never stopped to question if they should.
I just don't get the lets remake hit movies from 30 yrs ago let's reboot shows that had their run again phenomena. When I look at it I just see a lack of actual talent in Hollywood that they can't come up with anything new and fresh; there are exceptions but not many.
There's little wrong with 'bread-&-circuses' per se, but when 'bread-&-circuses' are the main things we're aware about ... Government knows the value of 'bread-&-circuses' in keeping the plebeians distracted ... ... can we prove them wrong? reality society entertainment
I know it’s hip to hate on Friends and FriendsReunion, but I’ve never been cool and have no plans to be, so I AM ALL IN, Y’ALL.
What? No Janice ?
MAX desperation.
Suckers.
Nutless_Monkey So cool!!! Get your favorite Friends related snack food and come over for the reunion party!!!
phoebe looking gorgeous

Please don’t!
God no

The stuff of nightmares.
Now, THIS is news, people.
16 years later and they all look great and pretty much the same.
'soft' No
The one where Joey does in fact live in Monica and Chandler’s garage.
It’s all about the money. The same cheap dialog will be used on a bunch of old people that never did anything meaningful. And now the desperate public will be lead to believe it will be worth the money. Ha!
Maybe they’ll make it a comedy this time.
Idiots.
Seinfeld is better!
Isn’t it weird that the men have on suits and ties while the women are wearing dresses that have the main attribute of looking like they might fall off the person?
Serious question: do people really care? It’s a panel show, right? The cast is just talking *about* the show; they’re not making new episodes *of* the show. I get why the network is fluffing this, but why is NPR?
