    The Reunion

Plot Synopsis

Six young people in their twenties, on their own and struggling to survive in the real world, find the companionship, comfort and support they get from each other to be the perfect antidote to the pressures of life. Kudrow and Aniston were both Emmy winners for their work on FRIENDS, and the show won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2002.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of FRIENDS, TBS aired a 20-episode marathon on Monday, September 22, 2014 from 10am-8pm ET/PT. The marathon, which airs 20 years to the day since the hit comedy's original debut, consists of episodes chosen by fans, who can vote for their favorites by submitting their choices via Facebook (www.facebook.com/TBSveryfunny) and Twitter (twitter.com/tbsveryfunny) using #FavoriteFriends.

On Thursday, May 27, 2021, HBO Max dropped "Friends: The Reunion," featuring Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer returning 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 iconic show.
