First the hesitations of the actors, then the pandemic. There seemed to be no peace for the announced reunion of Friends. The wait now seems over. The special reunion of all the cast of the series is done and there is a shooting start date: April 5.
The special was first announced in February 2020, already in May of last year it was to be available in streaming on the channel HBO Max. The pandemic changed everything. Now, however, the six protagonists of the sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, for 236 episodes, all return to the screen for the first time, apparently earning more than two million dollars each.
Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer reunite at the historic Warner Bros set in Burbank California. The scenography of Monica’s apartment and also of the Central Perk has been rebuilt.
But what do we know about the reunion? Starting from a line in the series, we can say that “we were on hiatus” like Ross and Rachel. It is not said that he will recover from the end of the series, certainly all the actors return and also the authors, Marta Kauffman and David Krane, a sign of continuity that has not been there for other series.
Each episode of Friends it had a title that began with words «The One Where», “The One Where” and Kevin Reilly of HBO Max said this could be called «The One Where They Get Back Together», “The one in which they find themselves together.” This reunion is a meeting of the actors to talk about them and their experience, there is no script. Among the miracles of Friends there is also the fact that the performers have not had conflicts with each other: the photos of their meetings off the set in recent years prove it. “I won’t be Rachel,” Jennifer Aniston told Variety, “Even if somehow they are. We are all, at least in part, pieces of those characters ».
Per David Schwimmer the exceptional thing will be to get together right on that set. The actor playing Ross added that, for security reasons, some scenes will be shot on location. For the fans that’s fine, the important thing is that Friends returns.
