We know we know that just like us even you guys are desperately or eagerly waiting for the FRIENDS reunion starring Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc and on that note, we have learnt a few new developments regarding the reunion episode, so embrace yourself as we have got an exciting update. As we know, the shooting of this special episode has been delayed due to the Coronavirus outbreak in March 2020, we hear that the makers are now planning and might just go ahead and film the show virtually as many other programs have done while teasing what fans can expect when the special does finally air.
While speaking to Maria Menounos on her "Better Together" show, they revealed about this new development. In a free-wheeling conversation, Kevin Bright was quoted saying, "We're actually all on board for waiting it out. We've waited this long." He went on to emphasize their reasoning, saying, "We really want to share it with an audience. We want to do it without restrictions, even though we all know for the foreseeable future, there will be some."
In other words, the cast is willing to wait as long as it takes to make sure the fans are part of a more traditional reunion special. Considering all the factors, Bright doesn't feel fans will be waiting forever. "We're just waiting. We're waiting for a window," he said. "We feel the reunion needs to be done in front of an audience; we cannot share it after all this time. So, tentatively speaking, we're hoping that the special will be completed by Thanksgiving."
If you are wondering when will air, Bright promises to treat its fans with some unseen bloopers and alternate takes of classic scenes. "We have every piece of footage we ever shot on 'Friends,'" he said, saying they might explore sharing a moment captured "while the cameras [were] still rolling, that the audience has never seen before; an alternate take of a scene that the audience knows very well."

He also split the beans on the love story of Ross and Rachel played by Jennifer and David. Though we know Rachel came back for Ross and they did end up together. But fans didn't get to see them tying the knot. Bright reveals, "What we did find and were able to convince them of, is don't doubt the audience on Ross and Rachel. This is going to be exciting for a moment because it's new, but they're going to realize during the course of this arc that Rachel and Ross are meant to be together."
