‘Friends’ Reunion Special for HBO Max Likely to Film at End of …

The Friends reunion special is getting closer.

After the taping was delayed due to the coronavirus, it will most likely resume at the of summer for HBO Max.

WarnerMedia Entertainment and Direct-to-Consumer chairman Bob Greenblatt told Variety, At first we thought, shows will be delayed for a month or two at the most, and now it seems like it’s going to be far longer than that. We’re holding out for being able to get this special done hopefully by the end of the summer if the stars align and hopefully we can get back into production. We do think there’s a value to having a big, raucous live audience to experience these six great friends coming back together and we didn’t want to just suddenly do it on a web call with, you know, six squares and people shooting from their kitchens and bedrooms.

Greenblatt did add that if the stay-at-home order continues indefinitely, they will take a more virtual route.
