Is there a trailer for Friends: The Reunion yet?
The first full trailer for the Friends: The Reunion trailer dropped on Wednesday, May 19. It features the original cast revisiting their old set (including Monica and Rachel’s apartment), and reminiscing on their time together. They also sit down for a table read of an old episode, and share tidbits about the show while tearing up, understandably.
Who will appear on Friends: The Reunion?
In addition to the original cast (Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer), a rather lengthy and varied list of guest stars includes: David Beckham, Justin Bieber, BTS, James Corden, Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Lady Gaga, Elliott Gould, Kit Harington, Larry Hankin, Mindy Kaling, Thomas Lennon, Christina Pickles, Tom Selleck, James Michael Tyler, Maggie Wheeler, Reese Witherspoon, and Malala Yousafzai.

The unscripted reunion special was taped at the comedy’s original soundstage, Stage 24, on the Warner Bros. Studio lot in Burbank.
Will the Friends reunion be just one episode?

Friends premiered in 1994 and ran for 10 seasons on NBC. It remains one of the most popular shows in the world, having exploded on streaming when its 236 episodes debuted on Netflix in 2015 and earned a new generation of fans. Friends left Netflix in 2019 and shifted to WarnerMedia’s HBO Max in 2020.
