In case you didn’t already know, the “Friends” reunion is officially available for you to watch however many times you want.
While fans of the show are still delighted about the reunion special on HBO, the show’s stars are “basking in all the love” also.
On her official Instagram, Jennifer Aniston, who appeared in the reunion with her five former costars, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow, and Matt LeBlanc, posted several behind-the-scenes pictures.
In her caption, the “Friends” actress wrote, “Still basking in all the love from the #FriendsReunion. Thank you each and every one of you.”
She added, “Swipe for... The bazillionth selfie taken with the five of us... When two TOTALLY different worlds collide - @_schwim_’s face says it all ☺️ ... The legend himself, our director of the first season, Papa James Burrows.”
Aniston’s nostalgic post included a selfie of all six cast members smiling. Another picture showed Schwimmer on the couch, sitting inside Central Perk with Justin and Hailey Bieber. Aniston, who played Rachel Green, also posted a selfie with director James Burrows.
While fans got an opportunity to catch up with original cast members, the reunion also showed high-profile stars that got to guest star on the hit NBC sitcom.

However, fans probably noticed that Paul Rudd, who played Phoebe’s husband Mike, and Cole Sprouse, who made appearances as Ross’s son Ben were not present at the reunion.
In an interview with The Wrap, Ben Winston, the director of the HBO Max special, explained why the 52-year-old and 28-year-old actors were not present and how it wasn’t possible for them to participate in the reunion.
"Well, we couldn't have everybody on, because it's only an hour and 45 minutes. And you've got to pay attention — the main nub of the show has got to be about the six cast members," Winston said. "So you can't have too many cameos because of course, there were hundreds of amazing people who were in 'Friends' over the years. Sadly, we couldn't get everybody in.”
"You know, we did invite some people who weren't able to make it," Winston continued. "It's a complicated time to be making television now because, you know, some people couldn't fly internationally, some people were on other TV or film shoots, some people were on other TV or film shoots, some people are in bubbles on stuff.”
