Even after 17 years, the show is perhaps the most popular, and is still watched, and re-watched by its fans. Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courtney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer reunited to the Friends original soundstage 24, on the Warner Bros. Studio lot in Burbank, California, to film the special, unscripted reunion episode. This reunion is set to premiere on 27th May 2021 on HBO Max.

The official announcement came in on Thursday as a teaser with the cast walking together holding each other closely. The teaser revealed the release date of the reunion with the acoustic version of the theme song as the background score. – PURE NOSTALGIA!

Along with the official announcement, the makers also announced the special guest list for the episode. It included celebrities like David Beckham, Justin Bieber, BTS, James Corden, Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Lady Gaga, Kit Harington, Mindy Kaling, Thomas Lennon, and Malala Yousafzai.
