Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, and special guests reunite to discuss everything from their casting process to whether or not Ross and Rachel were really on a break.
Witness the unbreakable bond of the group that perfectly captured the moment in life when your friends become your family.
The eagerly-awaited Friends: The Reunion will stream May 27 on HBO Max. While I was never the serious hard-core Friends fan, I did enjoy the show. It was truly comfortable, and often very funny. Who didn’t think Matt LeBlanc was uber-cute? This Instagram post pretty much sums up my relationship with the show. https://www.instagram.com/p/CO5yKxdMSvw/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Think really hard about what you’re doing. Think about it and don’t sin for Satan.”
