Friends fans got some exciting news on Thursday when it was announced that the long-awaited cast reunion is finally coming to HBO Max! The streaming service shared new details about the upcoming special, including when you can watch it.

Friends reunion to be released on HBO Max end of May

Friends stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, and David Schwimmer have been teasing the big reunion ever since they confirmed it was happening last February. While it was originally supposed to debut on HBO Max last spring, in August 2020 the special was indefinitely postponed because of the pandemic.

Back in November, Perry said the Friends reunion had been "rescheduled for the beginning of March." Fortunately, those plans went ahead, and now HBO Max has shared that the unscripted program will make its debut on the platform on May 27! Titled Friends: The Reunion, the unscripted program will see the cast back at the soundstage where they filmed the iconic show.
