This Is What Fans Are Most Excited For On The Friends Reunion
It's been over 15 years after its last episode aired, and "Friends" continues to be a fan favorite for both new and older audiences. The friends at the center of the beloved sitcom — Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston), Monica Geller (Courteney Cox), Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow), Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry), Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc), and Ross Geller (David Schwimmer) — stuck by each other through good times and bad, and the end of the beloved show marked the end of an era.
Though fans have gotten to enjoy "Friends" reruns on various streaming platforms, there will soon be another way to catch up with the gang behind the popular series. On May 27, the cast will reunite on HBO Max to reminisce on the show that brought them to fame while making a huge cultural impact. Though there are tons of things to be excited about as we wait for the reunion special to premiere, there's one aspect of it that fans can't stop talking about.
The Friends reunion will have big-name guest stars
While "Friends" fans are undoubtedly excited to see their favorite cast members back together in the reunion special, social media has been buzzing with talk about the many guest stars that are scheduled to appear. Aside from the beloved original cast, expect to see appearances from BTS, David Beckham, James Corden, Cindy Crawford, Mindy Kaling, Tom Selleck, and Malala Yousafzai, among many others.
Though we don't know how the guest stars will be incorporated into the show, fans are excited nonetheless and have taken to Twitter to share their enthusiasm.
