According to the recent teaser shared by this streaming service, Friends: The Reunion will officially premiere on May 27th. This date also marks the first anniversary of HBO Max’s launch, and the reunion special was actually supposed to air on this day last year before being postponed due to the COVID pandemic.

The short teaser doesn’t reveal much about the plot and simply shows the six main characters walking by each other’s side, while the iconic Friends theme plays in the background. Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer are all returning to their respective roles from the original series.

Friends has always been known for its impressive slate of guest stars, and the reunion special will be no different. The list of stars expected to make a cameo includes Reese Witherspoon, Tom Selleck, David Beckham, Justin Bieber, BTS, Lady Gaga, Mindy Kaling, and more.

Hopes have remained high since the series left our screens in 2004 that we would once again see Monica, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, and Joey back together.

And, with so many shows being rebooted, our hopes dared fly a little higher.

Sadly though, it looks like a reunion at Central Perk is definitely not on the cards…

“People ask us all the time, ‘Will we ever do a remake?’” Cox told PEOPLE. “That was a story about these group of people that are friends in their 30s who are finding themselves. I don’t know if there’s a way to redo it. I just don’t see it happening. Even though I would do anything to be in a room with all of those people acting and having a great time. But I don’t see it happening.”

No one told us life was gonna be this way…

As it turns out, the infamous plot point wasn’t even supposed to occur…

“When [Ross and Rachel] was planned it wasn’t planned that way, that came a little bit later,” executive producer Kevin S. Bright told Metro. “It allowed us to have fun with the show and give people something to root for. We were well aware the audience wanted to keep them together but everything that was keeping them apart… we realized when we got them together when the first kiss happened we go, ‘Wow, the air has kind of gone out of the balloon.”

So what did they do? They split them up!

“I thought what [producers] Marta and David did, which was such a brilliant and brave move with their relationship”, Bright said. “As soon as everyone got their wish the wish was taken away. It made it so much better when they did get together.”

At least it all worked out for the best.

In an exclusive interview with InStyle, Aniston was asked about Friends and whether or not she thought the show could ever come back.

“Before that show ended, people were asking if we were coming back. Courteney [Cox] and Lisa [Kudrow] and I talk about it. I fantasize about it. It really was the greatest job I ever had,” she responded.

“I don’t know what it would look like today, but you never know. So many shows are being successfully rebooted,” she continued, before adding that there was one member of the cast who is less keen for a reboot to happen…

“I know Matt LeBlanc doesn’t want to be asked that question anymore. But maybe we could talk him into it.” She then joked: “Or we just give it some time and then Lisa, Courteney, and I could reboot The Golden Girls and spend our last years together on wicker furniture.”

There’s still hope then…
