The Friends special is scheduled to be recorded in the summer and aired in the fall

Affected by the new coronavirus epidemic, the "Friends" reunion special originally scheduled to be launched on the streaming platform HBO Max in May this year has been postponed indefinitely. However, the good news is that Bob Greenblatt from Warner Media has confirmed that the "Friends" special is scheduled to be completed before the end of the summer.

Like many other companies, Warner did not expect the closure caused by the epidemic to last until now, but now they have decided to make relevant plans again. Greenblatt said in an interview with Variety: "We hope to complete this special work before the end of the summer. If everything goes well, we hope we can smoothly put it into production." However, Greenblatt also said that if the epidemic continues, they may also consider an online "live reunion" for the six actors of "Friends".

The "Friends" series will be broadcast on HBO Max on May 27. If everything goes well, everyone will be able to watch this "Friends" special in the fall.
