F.R.I.E.N.D.S. fans have been anticipating a show reunion for quite some now – ever since rumours surrounding a comeback sparked in 2019.
Now a reunion is finally set to air after 17 years, TV fanatics are eager to know how long the episode is set to be.
- OMG! Who won the voice?
How long is the reunion episode of Friends?
If you’ve been a fan from the start, you’ll know that, typically, an episode of Friends usually runs between 20-23 minutes.
Though, those who are obsessed with Friends are in for a treat on 27th May – the reunion episode will have a run-time of two hours!
Set to air on HBO Max in the US and Sky One in the UK, the one-off episode will see the cast revisit the set in an unscripted interview-esque format. Though, the cast will be returning as themselves, as opposed to their characters.
Sky One commented: “Emotions run high as the cast of Friends take one last trip to Central Perk to reminisce and relive moments from the iconic sitcom.”
What can you expect to see in the special?
Other than the return of the cast, fans can expect to see a line-up of other widely-recognised guests, including Lady Gaga, Cindy Crawford, BTS, James Corden, and Justin Bieber.
Extra members from the cast are also set to appear, with the likes of Tom Selleck (Richard Burke), James Michael Tyler (Gunther), and Maggie Wheeler (Janice).
