The six actors of the most popular sitcom of the 1990s gathered for a special self-promotion to mark the launch of the entire series on HBO Max. To see from Thursday May 27 on Salto.

In vain do I defend myself against it, the sitcom-colored mug on my desk, a memory of a New York summer in the last century, reminds me every day: I was one of the fans of Friends . From the first hour, even. Of those who wore "You stink of the cat" t-shirts and asked the hairdresser for a gradient. From this televore adolescence - I unfortunately lost my Urgences cup - I didn't have much left, apart from the memory of a somewhat old-fashioned sitcom, weighed down by a French dub worthy of that of Dirty Dancing .

And it is not the availability of ten seasons of Friends on Netflix, in original version and without advertising - a notable improvement compared to the viewing conditions of the 1990s - that would have made me change my mind. It was not until this particular spring, which slowly sees the prospect of a world without Covid-19 dawning in the distance, and the recording of this Reunion (the word in English meaning "reunion") that the irrepressible need to binger a few episodes don't take me back. If Twitter is to be believed, I'm not the only one.

Overweight and hyaluronic acid

After the shock of (re) discovering our "friends", seventeen years after having left them - overweight and hyaluronic acid included -, and the embarrassment of not knowing what is scripted and what is not in this "service" broadcast intended for fans, the cuddly toy is in full swing.

Less lacrimal than what one might have feared, this program recorded on the occasion of the launch of the series on the HBO Max platform (in the United States) has succeeded perfectly in its bet: to restore envy. But you may want to watch some episodes first: the show has had the good idea to rebroadcast some anthology scenes - the one who has never heard Ross shout "pivot !!!!" "trying to climb a sofa up a staircase hasn't quite lived - and remember the time when wasted afternoons at the cafe, quizzes with friends, one-night stands, stupid challenges, free hugs and hugs were part of normal life. We were young, and the world was different.

"The reunion", the special episode of the series "Friends" is available

The Friends meet again in a few hours, BTS is screwing up its records and Hong Kong is throwing away its vaccines ...

Seventeen years after the end of the "Friends" series, the group of friends has reformed for a special program posted online Thursday on HBO Max in the United States and on Salto in France. Distinguished guests like Lady Gaga also attended.

After seventeen years of waiting, "Friends" is finally back. The band of friends has reformed during a special episode broadcast by the American platform HBO Max, which has acquired the entire catalog of the emblematic series. In France, it is Salto which ensures its distribution in the original version with French subtitles before, soon, TF1.

Too expensive for  RTS

The RTS indicates for its part to have given up its diffusion because of the too high price of the program. When questioned, the head of the Program Acquisitions Unit, Isabell Hagemann Pouliquen, said that the price requested by Warner, a long-time partner of RTS, was excessive.

“What they're asking for is the equivalent of a big box office movie. Unfortunately, it's not in our budget,” she explains. "This show is much more expensive than the 'Game of Thrones' series," she adds.

Souvenir machine

HBO Max made a wise choice with this real machine for memories, anecdotes, cult extracts. The special episode even features a replay of a scene that shows the mimicry magic is still there.

"The reunion" looks like a flawless journey for this type of American talk show and this reunion has confirmed that "Friends" should never really disappear from our screens.

>> To see: the trailer for the special episode "Reunion"

A duet between Lady Gaga and Lisa Kudrow, alias Phoebe

Even if it is strange to see them in the sets reconstituted identically, we find the unwavering bond which still unites the band of friends, become a family for so many generations. Guest stars like the South Korean boy band BTS or the Pakistani Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala pay tribute to this phenomenon series which still continues to make people laugh with some cult lines. Like the strident "Oh My God" of Janice, Chandler's ephemeral friend.

In addition to the six main actors of the series, this gala episode also sees Canadian singer Justin Bieber, former footballer David Beckham and singer Lady Gaga for a duet on "Smelly Cat" with Lisa Kudrow, alias Phoebe.

We also learn in this particular episode, spoiler attention, that David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston, Ross and Rachel, therefore, had really fallen in love during the filming, but the timing was not right for them. "We really fell in love with each other, but with no real opportunity because one or the other already had someone in their life," recalls the interpreter Ross. "So we never took the plunge, we always respected that."

2.5 million stamp for each actor

According to the American magazine Variety, each of the six historical actors negotiated a fee of $ 2.5 million for this one show, on the occasion of which the production recreated, in the studios of Burbank (California), the famous apartment of Monica and Rachel.

What do you hope to see on the Friends reunion?

What do you hope to see on the Friends reunion? ?

It is not exactly a reunion although I wish it was. It is more of a get together thing.

Apparently, Matthew Perry (Chandler Bing) is not going to be there as he will be attending rehearsals for his play, The End of Longing.

There you go. It is not a reunion, after all. At least we will get to see the other five characters.

What I'm hoping to see is how my most favorite TV characters of all time evolved over the years.

I'm hoping to find out whether Ross and Rachel got married or are they still on a break.

I'm hoping to see Emma as a teen.

I'm hoping to see that Monica and Chandler love each other dearly just like they did 12 years ago.

I'm hoping to see which one of their kids is bossy like Monica and which one is funny like Chandler.

I'm hoping to see my favorite weirdo Phoebe with her lovely husband Mike and obviously, their kids.

I'm hoping to see a matured-yet-naive Joey in his 40s along with the love of his life and living with Chandler and Monica.

I want to see the F.R.I.E.N.D.S I love.

Nerdy-yet-Cool Ross.

Bossy and Mother-like Monica.

Beautiful and Smart Rachel.

Weird and Sweet Phoebe.

Naive and Caring Joey.

Funny and Lovable Chandler.

Emma was born in 2003. So she will be 13 this year. I really hope that she won't be an adult now, because I hate it when children grow up too fast on television! I want to see a 13 year old Emma! Ben will be an adult though, he was born in 1994 and he will be 22.Upvote·

What would the Friends reunion be like?

I think they are gonna show us what happened in their lives after the show went off the air.

They may show how Ross and Rachel got married!!!!!!❤️😍❤️

They will show what happened in Chandler and Monica's life and their twins…😄💓

They will show Mike and Pheobe storyline.I wonder what new songs pheobe has in store for us after heart melting songs like ‘Smelly Cat’🐈🤣

((Joey😂😂🐣🐤))

And they will show us what happened with Joey's life.Did he become a successful actor? If he lives in LA then how's he gonna meet them all?Does he end up with someone or does he live with Mondler😍?

Will they all go on … (more)622 comments from Ishita Jain and more

What will happen in the Friends reunion episode 2020?

Many of us were waiting for it to happen and at last it did, which reminded me how many times I have gone through all the episodes till now because it is one of the best sitcom ever and one can enjoy it any time they want, from any random episode they want.

So what’s gonna happen next in the reunion. Let’s take the bad assumptions first-

1- Monica and Chandler did not like their new place they suffered there as it was out of the city. They were exhausted with the twins and they finally miss being around with friends and hanging out at Central perk.

2- The worst things which can happen is Ross and Rachel are on a break. That would be too much drama, crying and yeah we love Ross and Rachel so we want to see them getting married. And yeah Emma can get that Rachel’s horrible nose.

3- A bad thing for Joey and Phoebe would be that they both are still struggling with their careers. But as Phoebe got married to Mike, something worse can happen with them as well like David can show up again as we all know there comes a sudden spark when those two meet each other after long.

Now let’s get done with the good things without all the drama but keep in head the 26 years of gap in the industry and nowadays mostly its all about the drama -

1- Monica and Chandler would be happiest with their life, with their children, their home and Joey staying with them. Yeah Ross and Rachel will come visit and they all will be happiest just like the end we saw.

2- Ross and Rachel got married, living happily together with Emma who turned out with a beautiful nose.

3- Phoebe is happily married and a bit of British as Mike’s family is and became quite uptight. And our Joey is one phenomenal actor in Hollywood and doing some great action movies.

Now, I hope the Reunion to be a mix of all the bad and good things as we need laughs and drama both with our best friends circle on the tv. For the time being let’s call this reunion “The one with all the answers”.404 viewsView 4 upvotes4

Charbel Daccache, You just can't die without watching Friends first.

What do you hope to see on the Friends reunion? ?

Well it's not "Friends" reunion as a lot of people might think. Yes the same actors and the same characters will be there but also alongside actors from Mike and Molly and others.

Now there will of course be some "Friends" scenes, for me I'd like another "We were on a break", "How you doin'", Chandler's awkward sense of humour, Phoebe weirdness, and Monica's controlling issues scenes.

I think it will be better than the original one, now that the actors are more mature and experienced. And we may as well see lots of people demanding a "real" friends reunion after this one.

Roy Jafari, I have watched Friends more than 5 times.

What do you hope to see on the Friends reunion? ?

Thanks for A2A. This is a really good question.

I don't think I have any expectations. I lived with these 6 characters. For me it's like getting to meet a group of closed friends after 12 years. I am just excited to see how each has turned out and come to know more about their life. I wouldn't want to ruin this with expectations and rivalry.

You might call me naive. Well, I am not. I know all of these are going to be act and there are writers who decide what has happened to each. But, since they were really a part of my life I don't want to take the pleasure away from myself by thinking these are all act.

Let's get a bucket of wings and a six pack of bears and enjoy the reunion like Joe and Chandler would enjoy bay watch. Pure pleasure!

I hope to see what i was waiting for from two long decades All six of the main cast of the show, together and remembering the old good days of making this show. And tells us the struggles they faced while filming the show and what challenges they had to overcome in personal lives during those dreamy 10 most important years of their lives which are unknown to us, fans.

What i really hope is to them announce a new short series all together. Although i know they finished it off on such a high point that i don’t think any show yet and will ever be able to end.

Can you believe it Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox was the highest paid actress for ten years with 1 million Dollar per episode of season 9 and 10.

According to Forbes Jennifer Aniston still comes in world’s top 5 highest paid actress of the world.

But still i want all of them to be together for a short period off time in a short series where they could tell us What happened after they moved out.

What do you hope to see on the Friends reunion?  

Technically speaking, this isn't exactly a Reunion. It's just the first time since 2004, that all the 6 protagonists of the show will be on the screen together. But, I guess even that is not possible since Matthew Perry isn't gonna be there as he has to attend the rehearsals of his play, The End of Longing. This is going to be more of a talk show about the director of the show, James Burrows.

I just want the discussions to be as epic as it used to be on the orange couch at Central Perk. Right from the discussion about Monica's first date with Paul to the point where Chandler asks where they a … (more)2

Brian O'Sullivan,

What are your predictions for the Friends reunion?

David Schwimmer character was never a dinosaur expert. The whole time he was actually a secret agent who ended up on secondment to GCHQ in the UK. Ross betrayed all of them. Monica feels the most devastated by this. She never knew her brother at all.

Anonymous

It’s unclear if it’ll be like an episode-movie or if it’ll be an interview and flash back. Early rumors were the latter but I swear some sources suggest it could be the former now or a mix of both, hard to tell unless I missed something.

If they do an actual episode-movie:

I stopped liking the direction the show went in from Season 5 onward, and the characters got really bad the last few seasons besides Phoebe, so if they can recapture the earlier show spirit somehow, that’d be great but highly doubt it.

Also, at this point they’re old enough to have had kids the age they were when the show start .

Mohit Revankar

This FRIENDS REUNION is going to be a nostalgic trip for the fans. We are going to see them together after so long. This is definitely going to be funny and emotional.

I just want to see them together talking, sharing, giving us insights about what happened to their characters after the finale. Not just the main cast I want to see all the other cast as well Gunther, Janice, Ben, Emma, Richard, Everyone! And I just hope they have the maximum screen time in this Reunion. I am not interested in the other guest. I just want to watch and adore my FRIENDS.
