The much-awaited Friends: Reunion special is finally materialising with the main star cast which includes Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer. This special feature is already in the works and it looks like the filming for the same has begun. Several photos from the set have been making rounds on the internet.

In terms of the set up of the show, all actors—Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer will be reprising their original roles and more importantly, it will be unscripted, unlike more episodes that were previously shot for the series. This much-awaited feature was first going to be shot in March 2020 with a live audience. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, as most countries introduced severe lockdowns, even the production of this reunion episode was impacted and halted for the time being.
