The 'Friends' Cast Might Reunite for a Special on HBO Max!

It’s been 15 years since the NBC comedy series Friends went off the air and the show has only gotten more popular since then… and now the cast might be finally reuniting for a reunion special!

Warner Bros. TV, the studio that produced the series, is bringing the show home next year for WarnerMedia’s new streaming service HBO Max. Fans who watch the series on Netflix only have until the end of the year to finish their binges.

When the new streaming service launches next year, they’re trying to give fans a proper Friends reunion special. A few years ago, five of the six lead cast members reunited to honor the director of the show, but that wasn’t considered a proper reunion.

THR reports that HBO Max is in the works on a reunion special, but deals are “far from done and agreements with cast and creatives still need to be hammered out.” The outlet even notes that if deals are finalized, there’s still the chance that scheduling doesn’t work out in the end.

We definitely would love to see Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer back on screen together!
