Meanwhile, the series that ran very successfully for a decade has a huge fan base even after 16 years of it going off-air. Fans of Friends have eagerly been waiting for the reunion of the show for a very long time. A lead actor of the show, Matthew Perry (Chandler) has recently revealed that the Friends reunion will finally be taking place sometime in March 2021.

The Friends reunion was originally supposed to be shot back in March 2020 with a live audience. But, all those plans were scrapped with the pandemic shut down. WarnerMedia Entertainment and Direct-to-Consumer chairman Bob Greenblatt then said in May 2020 that the company was hopeful about this special reunion to be shot by the end of summer (2020). But, once again, those plans couldn’t work out due to the situation with the virus. Recently, on November 12, 2020, Matthew Perry, one of the lead actors from the series, took to his official Twitter handle to reveal that the Friends reunion will be taking place in March 2021. Teasing the fans, Matthew Perry said that he and the rest of his “FRIENDS” will be having a “busy year”.
