Latest reports now suggest that talks are currently underway for an unscripted reunion special which would premiere on HBO Max, the upcoming streaming service.

The report also reveals that this unscripted special would reunite the show's lead cast consisting of Jennifer Aniston (Rachel), Courteney Cox (Monica), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe), Matt LeBlanc (Joey), Matthew Perry (Chandler), and David Schwimmer (Ross), along with series creators David Crane and Mara Kauffman.
Considering that Friends recently completed its 25th anniversary since its first airing, a reunion special would certainly make sense if it is churned out sooner.
