Looks like that recent reunion was more than just a couple of friends getting back together. Despite years of shutting down rumors and possible reunion news popping up on the internet every so often, it looks like it's finally happening.
Friends fans might painfully remember that the show will no longer be available on Netflix in 2020 for HBO Max. The streaming service, which will also be the home to Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, and more, will be the new home for the 236 episode series when it launches. However, it looks like that fans will also get an extra special welcome when they join the service to watch the show.
According to Deadline, the reunion is not a new episode of the series, but rather, a special that will bring the cast back together in an unspecified way. There's no word on what exactly the cast will be doing, but it will be unscripted and a runtime has not been announced yet.
Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel throughout the series, has been hinting at a possible reunion over the past couple of weeks. After joining Instagram, Jennifer posted a photo of herself and her Friends co-stars back together for dinner that sparked rumors that something was in the works.
While on Ellen, she also hinted that something was happening, but not in the way that fans were probably expecting and that details haven't been finalized yet.
"We would love for there to be something, but we don’t know what that something is," she said. "So we’re just trying. We’re working on something."
HBO Max is expected to launch in May 2020 and will cost $15/month.
