The HBO Max special reunites Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer on the original Stage 24 soundstage on the Warner Bros. Studio lot in Burbank, California.

The creators of the show, Marta Kauffman and David Crane, are also set to be part of the reunion.

Earlier that day, Perry took to the platform to share a behind-the-scenes photo of him prepping for the upcoming reunion, only to delete the post moments later.

“Seconds before eating a makeup brush, not to mention reuniting with my friends,” he captioned the photo, which featured him in a makeup chair.

Details for the reunion special have been kept under wraps, but the cast is reportedly will be reminiscing about their time together on the show, which premiered over 25 years ago.

The cast reunion was originally set to film in March 2020, only to be delayed multiple times amid the coronavirus pandemic. Perry tweeted in November that the special would tape in March.

The show, which ran for 10 seasons from 1994 and ended in 2004, still remains one of the most popular TV shows in reruns.

“Friends” reunion special was initially set to help launch WarnerMedia’s new streaming service, HBO Max, in May 2020 but the plan to film it has been repeatedly delayed by the pandemic.

The unscripted Friends special is set to debut on HBO Max sometime later this year.
