Friends reunion special at HBO Max has been officially delayed
Should we just call it The One That Never Happened then?
11 Apr, 2020
The Friends reunion won’t be here for us as soon as expected.
Production on the special has been delayed by the coronavirus pandemic that’s brought movie and TV making to a standstill.
The special, featuring the entire original Friends cast, was to be part of the May launch of the new HBO Max streaming service. No taping was done before the health crisis hit, the company said Friday.
The Emmy-winning Friends, which ended its 10-season run in 2004, made Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer into household names.
Plans call for the special, called a “celebration of the beloved show,” to be shot on the same Burbank, California, sound stage where the series taped.
