HBO Max Delays Friends Reunion but Still Hopes to Film in Time for May Launch

The new streaming service's special hasn't yet gone into production

As Hollywood hunkers down amid the coronavirus pandemic, TV and film production is grinding to a halt. That now includes the Friends cast reunion for HBO Max. But while the special has been delayed, WarnerMedia’s upcoming streaming service still plans to film the program in time for its launch in May.

The special will bring the sitcom’s original cast—Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer—back together to talk about the show and its legacy for the first time since Friends went off the air in 1994.
