The statement added: “The long-awaited get together will see “Friends” stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer return to the iconic comedy’s original soundstage, Stage 24, on the Warner Bros. Studio lot in Burbank for a real-life unscripted celebration of the beloved show.”
The beloved sitcom remains one of the most popular TV shows of all time, and now the gang are back together.
Friends ran from 1994 to 2004 and made its actors international stars.
The HBO Max special marks the first time the stars have all been together in once place since the show ended.

While chatting in Central Perk, Jennifer tells the group: “I remember I went to the producer of the show I was working on and he told me that this show wasn’t going to make me a star…”
James Corden is hosting the reunion special, and will be asking the actors questions in a chat show format.
There will also be a string of celebrity cameos, including the likes of Lady Gaga, David Beckham and Justin Bieber.
Fans rushed to social media to share their excitement over the trailer’s release.

Since the show ended, streaming services have helped it maintain its popularity around the world.
In fact, it remains one of the most watched shows on Netflix despite now being almost two decades old.
The streaming service was the target of a huge fan backlash last year when it was revealed the show would be leaving the platform.
How can I watch in the UK?
The reunion special will air on HBO Max on May 27.
Viewers in the UK can stream the hour-long episode the same day from 8am on Sky and Now.
It’ll air that same night at 8pm on Sky One.
