Great news more ‘Friends’ Reunion Special in Early Planning Stages at HBO Max!
According to reports an unscripted “Friends” reunion special is in the works at the forthcoming WarnerMedia streamer. Read on…
CelebNMovies247.com has learned that the original cast members Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer are in discussions to appear in the special.
The original Friends cast will also be joined by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, who co-created the show. No official plans are currently in place nor are there details on what the special would look like. Most likely it would feature the cast and creators sharing stories and memories from the set of the beloved sitcom.
The news comes four months after HBO Max snatched the coveted streaming rights to the NBC series from Netflix in a deal with WBTV. All 236 episodes of the show will roll off Netflix and onto HBO Max upon the streamer’s launch in May 2020.
Kauffman said at a Tribeca TV Festival panel marking the 25th anniversary of “Friends”:
We will not be doing a reunion show. We will not be doing a reboot. There are two reasons for that. One of the reasons we won’t do a reunion is because this is a show about a time in your life when your friends are your family. And when you have a family, that changes. But the other reason is it’s not going to beat what we did
HBO Max and Warner Bros. Television, which produced the series, declined to comment.
The Hollywood Reporter first reported on the potential special.
