In a thrilling update for fans, the much-anticipated ‘Friends’ reunion is finally taking shape, with glimpses from behind the scenes surfacing online. As reported by Entertainment Daily, actor Daniel Green recently took to his social media to share a sneak peek of the filming process.
The reunion, which is not a reboot, will feature the original cast members as themselves rather than their beloved characters. “I’ll be myself. I’ll be Daniel,” Green explained, emphasizing that the special will be unscripted and focused on their real-life personas.
When asked if he had been rewatching the series to prepare, Green admitted, “Honestly, I haven’t managed to catch up on all 236 episodes, but I’ll have to binge-watch a lot in the next few days!”
The creators and the cast have consistently stated that they are not interested in a scripted reunion. “What made the show special has already concluded,” co-creator Laura Jensen told Entertainment Weekly back in 2014. “It’s been 20 years; no one looks the same. The focus would just be on how much we’ve aged.”
Green hinted at an exciting segment during filming, stating, “There’s a part where we all get to read something together—I don’t want to spoil it!”
Co-star Emily Roberts echoed similar sentiments during an interview, saying, “This is not a scripted event. It’s more about us coming together, something we haven’t done since 2004. I think it’s going to be wonderful.”
Photos from the set have been circulating on social media, creating a buzz among fans. Green even shared a humorous behind-the-scenes moment on his Instagram. “Just before I had an unfortunate encounter with a makeup brush, I got to reunite with my friends!” he wrote, though the post has since been removed.
Roberts reassured fans not to read too much into the timing of their reunion. “We all appreciate how unique our experience was. We genuinely care for one another and had a blast during those ten years,” she shared.
Originally scheduled to air in May to coincide with HBO Max’s launch, the special faced delays due to the pandemic. “We’ll do it when it’s safe,” Green explained in mid-2020. “We’re eager to make it happen, but safety is our top priority.” The filming was postponed last August amid a rise in COVID-19 cases, but the reunion special is set to air later this year on HBO Max.
