«Friends: The Reunion», the first photos: this is how it will be

The wait is getting shorter and the information more and more detailed, giving us a more precise picture of what will be there reunion of Friends that America will see the May 27 on HBO Max and that Italy has not yet purchased, leaving us without a release date and without a broadcasting platform. We’ve been talking about the way for more than a year now Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer would meet again and interact together and, after a while, the latest reunion trailer finally tells us something about what we will see. From the first images, which immediately went viral on the Net, it is clear that the episode The One Where They Get Back Together will develop into three segments: the first will see the cast return to the set they hosted Friends for ten years, that is Monica’s apartment; the second will allow the protagonists to sit around a table reading some old scripts all together; and the third will lead the “friends” in front of a real audience with James Corden who will ask them questions along with many special guests, from Justin Bieber to Lady Gaga, from David Beckham to BTS.

Certainly, more than a special episode, we can speak of a real show which will allow the actors to set foot in the old studio that in the nineties had become their home sharing, then, curiosity and points of view through Corden’s questions, including the most thorny: Were Rachel and Ross really “on hiatus” or not? From the first readings at the table to the meeting with some old glories of Friends like Tom Selleck and Maggie Wheeler, it seems clear from HBO that he thought so well of the event to make it legendary. As reported Variety, iOn May 26, HBO Max organized a few screenings in New York and Los Angeles to allow fans to attend, before the others, the screening of the special in order to collect their impressions and document them. The possibility to participate in the event is linked to a UGC prize competition, #SuperFriendsFan which, even in the event of a defeat, will allow participants who are left out to follow the event in streaming from their home.
