Friends Reunion 2021: Everything You Need to Know

After months (or, at this point, years) of rumors and anticipation, the Friends reunion of our dreams is now a reality. 

The cast has gathered for a special on HBO’s streaming service, HBO Max, following the iconic sitcom’s 25th anniversary. 

When will the Friends reunion air?

While the reunion special was originally planned to be available to stream when HBO Max launched in May 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic ruined that timeline, since the cast couldn’t film together.

But on April 11, the Friends Instagram account revealed that the special has wrapped, meaning we’re one major step closer to finally seeing it on TVs.

And HBO Max has finally announced the premiere date – May 27, more than a year after it was supposed to debut. 

All the stars are coming back.

Jennifer Aniston (Rachel), Courteney Cox (Monica), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe), Matt LeBlanc (Joey), Matthew Perry (Chandler), and David Schwimmer (Ross) will reunite at the original Friends soundstage at the Warner Bros. Studio in Burbank – to film. All six stars will also executive produce.

The Late Late Show writer Ben Winston will direct. He’s also an executive producer, Friends EPs Kevin Bright, Marta Kauffman, David Crane; and Emma Conway and James Longman.

When the reunion news was announced, the leads all shared the same photo and caption on Instagram “It’s happening” and tagged each other. The image, shot by Mark Seliger, is from the May 18, 1995 issue of Rolling Stone.

How can I watch the Friends reunion?

You’ll need an HBO Max subscription to partake in all the Friends reunion fun.

In the meantime, the full series is currently available to stream on HBO Max, so you can rewatch all 10 seasons again (and again, and again…).
