Courteney Cox has opened up about the Friends reunion, and what we can expect.
Speaking with Kevin Nealon on Hiking with Kevin, the 55-year-old actress and Mrs Snow Patrol) explained what the show would involve.
“So the exciting thing is that we’re all going to get together for the first time, in a room, and actually talk about the show, and it’s going to be on HBO Max, and I’m so excited,” she said.
“We’re going to have the best time. It’s going to be great. We really haven’t all done that and actually sat there and talked about and reminisced about this incredible experience that we had. It’s gonna be fantastic.”
It means Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc will be chatting all things Friends in the same room.
It’s set to air in line with the launch of HBO Max, a new streaming service, with reports the network has spent around £360 million on rights to the sitcom – which ended in 2004.
Which may explain why the show is no longer on Netflix.
“It taps into an era when friends – and audiences – gathered together in real time and we think this reunion special will capture that spirit, uniting original and new fans,” said Kevin Reilly, chief content officer of HBO Max.
It’s believed the special will air at some point in May in the US, but it’s currently unconfirmed when it will arrive across the pond.
Could we BE any more excited?
