How well do you remember Friends? How well do the actual cast members of the modern classic sitcom remember their own show? If the trailer HBO Max dropped Wednesday for its forthcoming reunion special for the series is any indication, it looks like barely a day has passed in their memories since they were shooting on the Warner Bros. lot.
Returning to Stage 24 where they originally shot the 1990s sitcom about six friends living in New York City, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer walk through the rebuilt apartment set and even sit down for a game of trivia, in the vein of game depicted in the fourth season episode The One with the Embryos.
Schwimmer reads the questions just as his character Ross did in that episode (though, presumably Schwimmer did not also write them, as Ross did) and of course one of them references Ross and Rachel's (Aniston) infamous and still-debated break or break-up. Asking how many pages the letter Rachel wrote to Ross in the Season 4 premiere, The One With The Jellyfish, LeBlanc gleefully calls out,"18 pages!" Of course Schwimmer needs more, and Aniston correctly chimes in,"18 pages, front and back!"
Friends: The Reunion will also feature a sit-down interview with James Corden, as depicted in the trailer, which you can watch above. In this interview, Corden goes down the line of cast members to determine once and for all if Ross and Rachel really were on a break. They also reflect on everything from the first table read to how intrusive fame became, read some classic lines from the old scripts and get special visits from guest stars including Tom Selleck and Maggie Wheeler.
Ben Winston directed the special and executive produced it alongside Friends executive producers Kevin Bright, Marta Kauffman and David Crane, and all original cast members Aniston, Cox, Kudrow, LeBlanc, Perry and Schwimmer. Emma Conway, James Longman and Stacey Thomas-Muir co-executive produced. – Reuters
