Friends Reunion - Every Confirmed & Rumoured Detail
3. Who Will Be There?
Good news! All 6 of the original cast members will be on board. We could not have possibly imagined a reunion without the whole gang. HBO Max chief content officer Kevin Reilly said in a statement:
“Guess you could call this the one where they all got back together — we are reuniting with David, Jennifer, Courteney, Matt, Lisa, and Matthew for an HBO Max special that will be programmed alongside the entire Friends library.”
We have yet to receive any news as to whether series regulars will return. Certainly the spotlight should be on the OG pals but we’d love to see and hear from Mike, Janice, Gunther or even Phoebe’s scientist ex David. James Michael Tyler, who portrayed Gunther, appeared on This Morning on 24 September 2019 and stated that he didn’t want a reunion to happen as this would most likely mess with the show’s “perfection”. However, this was before the reunion was announced so maybe he’s changed his mind?
It’s been reported that each of the friends will receive an incomparable $2.5 million paycheck. Perhaps if this is offered to Gunther (or Janice, please bring back Janice!) he’ll change his mind?
