We will need a bigger sofa.
This is how the HBO max platform announced this Thursday, May 12 - with humor - the broadcast on May 27 of the episode that all fans were waiting for.
A special episode of
Friends
which will see the reunion of the six friends of the series after 17 years of absence, with a host of guests including David Bekham, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga.
The broadcast of this episode was initially to correspond to the launch, at the end of May 2020, of the HBO Max platform, which acquired the entire
Friends
catalog
.
But the pandemic had forced the production to postpone filming, which did not finally take place until last month.
$ 2.5 million in cachet
Created in 1994,
Friends
was a huge audience success and marked several generations of viewers, confirming the intact popularity of the sitcom, a genre that many said was on the decline.
According to the professional magazine
Variety,
the six historical actors, who are co-executive producers of the reunion episode, have negotiated a fee of $ 2.5 million each for the filming of this single show.
