Too bad, but unfortunately it will be a one-off broadcast, which has a very recognizable name for the fans: The one where they get back together. But viewers have been warned: it won’t be a new sequel with Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, Phoebe and Rachel.
The actors just play themselves and reminisce. They do so with a whole line of famous guests, including actors who played supporting roles in the series such as Tom Selleck (Richard), Reese Witherspoon (Jill, Rachel’s sister) and Maggie Wheeler (Janice) and other celebrities such as Lady Gaga, David. Beckham, Justin Bieber, Cara Delevingne and also Pakistani Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai.
Also in Flanders
The first teaser trailer already shines a corner of the veil and radiates mystery in addition to nostalgia. The episode will also be shown with us via Streamz, which brought HBOMAX to Flanders.
WarnerMedia bought the rights to 236 episodes of Friends (1994-2004) for $ 425 million to make it one of its premium products. The series was the most watched series on Netflix in 2018.
According to the specialized site Variety each actor gets at least $ 2.5 million for the episode. It was shot in the series’ original Warner Bros. studios in Burbank, near Hollywood.
