The “Friends” reunion is almost here.
On Thursday, Jennifer Aniston posted a video to Instagram revealing the date of the highly anticipated reunion special of the classic sitcom that’s coming to HBO Max.
“It’s official! The #FriendsReunion premieres May 27th on @HBOMax — could we BE any more excited?! 😝❤️” Aniston captioned the clip.
The brief video shared by Aniston featured the main six cast members of "Friends" taking an evening stroll with their backs turned to the cameras.
"The one where they get back together," reads a caption card near the end of the clip, stylized in the signature font of the show's logo.
HBO Max shared the clip with the official date announcement on social media as well on Thursday.
"It's been 17 years, but your Friends are back. Stream the #FriendsReunion on May 27 only on HBO Max," the streaming platform's official Twitter captioned the post.
