Friends fans will have to wait a little bit longer for the cast to come together for the highly anticipated reunion special: Matthew Perry took to Twitter this week to announce the reunion episode will start filming in March 2021.

In the comments section of the tweet, fans of the popular sitcom were quick to show their excitement for the news. @ClaremontHenry said, "OMG!!! I can't wait." @Thomaspiking12 said, "Now this will make up for 2020."

The reunion was first announced in February of this year by HBO Max, and was scheduled to premiere in May. However, due to the pandemic, the special was put on hold. Perry, along with Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer, are all set to make an appearance.

The reunion special is expected to be an unscripted night filled with cast conversations, as well as a Q&A segment where fans get to ask the stars about their time filming the cultural monolith that their sitcom has become in the past thirty years.

After confirming in May that the reunion would be pushed back again, former WarnerMedia Entertainment Direct-to-Consumer chairman, Bob Greenblatt, said they were still going to film the special in front of a live-audience in Burbank, California.

"We do think there's a value to having a big, raucous live audience to experience these six great friends coming back together," he said. "And we didn't want to just suddenly do it on a web call with, you know, six squares and people shooting from their kitchens and bedrooms."

This mentality is a definite break from the one that most sitcom casts seem to have adopted, as there has been a rash of cast reunions of beloved shows since the pandemic began.

“The whole point of this is to be in the same room. That hasn’t changed. And HBO Max is being phenomenally patient and understanding,” Kudrow told The Hollywood Reporter in May.

"Unfortunately it's very sad that we had to move it again," Aniston told Deadline in August. "It was, 'How do we do this with live audiences?' This is not a safe time. Period. That's the bottom line. It's not a safe time to do it."

She added, "It's going to be super. I choose to see it as the glass is half-full that it got postponed. Look, we're not going anywhere. You're never going to get rid of Friends, sorry. You're stuck with us for life, guys."

During these hard times, the cast has been giving fans mini-reunions until the special resumes production. In addition to various posts on social media in which the former cast members have hung out in Los Angeles, Cox, Aniston, and Kudrow reunited over the summer to encourage fans to vote in the 2020 Presidential election.

While we wait for the reunion special to premiere, all ten seasons of Friends are currently available to stream on HBO Max.
