The much talked about Friends reunion special is set to begin filming next week.

The special, which was originally due to have filmed last year, will feature Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt le Blanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer returning to the original sound stage in Hollywood where the show was filmed.

They will all be appearing as themselves, it’s not a new Friends episode, although Schwimmer has said there will be a section where they all read something – so we’ll have to wait and see what that means.

It’s being filmed for HBO Max in the US, so it’ll be interesting to see where it ends up in the UK. The original show is on Comedy Central, but Sky has a deal with HBO for their programming.
