A long-awaited Friends reunion will premiere on HBO Max on May 27, as the cast made of Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer “picked up where they have left off”.
The sitcom fans will see their favourite clique featuring Monica, Rachel, Chandler, Joey, and Ross reunited once again in recreated sets, which had been left off for 17 years but have not been forgotten.
Walking back onto Stage 24 at Warner Bros, the Friends gang made an emotional comeback.
In an interview for People, Jennifer Aniston stressed how nostalgic the whole cast felt when they first met up together on the soundstage.

“Oh God, how are we going to get through this alive, without just crying our faces off?” She blurted.
Friends, which ran for 10 seasons, saw its success build a strong fanbase.
From the sitcom’s emblematic purple door with a yellow frame to the adored coffee shop “Central Perk”, Friends quickly became one of the most-watched American TV series since its first episode premiered in 1994.

Amid the special non-scripted episode which will air in two weeks, Courteney Cox who played Monica, a chef with an obsessive-compulsive nature, said that she “was flooded with 10 years of irreplaceable memories,” when she reunited with her castmates.
Despite the six actors appearing in a non-scripted version of the famous NBC series, the gang did not forget how to play their characters and have even imagined what the group would have become today.
“I would like to have maybe started a clothing line of my own, and it’s sort of a small franchise,” said Jennifer, who played the role of the spoiled and quirky Rachel.
“Like a Nili Lotan. And I live in New York City on the Upper East Side,” she added.
For Courtney, Monica, who was known to be a competitive monster on the show, would have probably ended up doing activities with other mothers whilst “trying to outdo them”.

She also assumed that Monica would become the annoying “head of PTA”.
Lisa Kudrow, who played Phoebe, the weirdo of the gang, assumed her character would be more settled today.
“Phoebe is living in Connecticut with Mike and their kids, and she’s in charge of the arts program for the school,” Lisa said.
The male castmates had simpler theories as Matthew Perry, who played Chandler, would be “a wonderful father,” Matt LeBlanc’s Joey would end up opening a “chain of sandwich shops” while David Schwimmer said his character, Ross, would have “invested in Joey’s sandwich shop and lost a lot of his savings for his kids.”

The iconic sextet influenced an entire generation and continuously created new fans as the series is currently available on Netflix and occasionally airs on TV.
The actors, who seem to have built a real friendship throughout the years, admitted to having undeniable chemistry while working together.
Courtney even described her time with her cast mates as “lighting in a bottle”, while Matthew said their chemistry still existed and between them, it was “magic”.
