After the pandemic wrecked plans of an official Friends reunion special, actor Mathew Perry said that the cast will get back together for the shoot in March next year.
“Friends reunion being rescheduled for the beginning of March. Looks like we have a busy year coming up. And that’s the way I like it!” Perry tweeted.
The special was supposed to launch the HBO Max streaming service in May 2020, but plans to film it have been repeatedly delayed by the pandemic that shut down production in Hollywood in mid-March.
