Friends Reunion: What to expect
Friends: The Reunion is an unscripted special where Aniston, Cox, Kudrow, LeBlanc, Perry, and Schwimmer talk about their characters and time on the show. As stated above, there will be a surprise entry of supporting casts and celebrity guests as well. It’s worth mentioning that the cast won’t be portraying their original characters. They’ll be appearing as themselves. “In order to avoid any misunderstanding about what this special is, we want to make it very clear that this is not a new, original episode of the series. The cast will be appearing as themselves, not as their beloved characters,” explained HBO Max.
The Friends Reunion teaser that has been released shows the six actors walking together to a melodic version of the show’s iconic theme song I’ll Be There For You by The Rembrandts. The Friends Reunion was filmed at the original soundstage, Stage 24, on the Warner Bros. studio lot in California, which is where the original series was taped. The original cast is also the executive producer of the special, alongside Friends creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane. The episode has been directed by Ben Winston.

The episode is unlikely to stream on Disney+ Hotstar in the country, as its HBO deal does not extend to HBO Max originals. Despite the shared name, HBO and HBO Max are entirely separate entities.
