Multiple outlets confirm that 15 years after the hit sitcom aired its series finale, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer have signed on to take part in a taped unscripted reunion special for HBO Max. 

But don’t get too excited — the reunion isn’t a reboot or a revival, but an opportunity for the six friends to get back together and talk about their show. 

“Guess you could call this the one where they all got back together — we are reuniting with David, Jennifer, Courteney, Matt, Lisa, and Matthew for an HBO Max special that will be programmed alongside the entire Friends library,” said Kevin Reilly, chief content officer at HBO Max in a statement. “I became aware of Friend’ when it was in the very early stages of development and then had the opportunity to work on the series many years later and have delighted in seeing it catch on with viewers generation after generation. It taps into an era when friends — and audiences — gathered together in real-time and we think this reunion special will capture that spirit, uniting original and new fans.”

Ben Winston will direct the special. He will also executive produce alongside Friends exec producers Kevin Bright, Marta Kauffman, and David Crane. 

Friends ran for 10 seasons from 1994-2004 on NBC. All ten seasons of the sitcom left Netflix at the end of 2019 and will be available to stream again once HBO Max launches in May.

David Schwimmer has been cast in a new upcoming Sky One Comedy. His latest TV credit post Friends (1994-2004) was American Crime Story: The People v. OJ Simpson, in which he starred as lawyer Robert Kardashian.

Sky One has greenlit a new six-part workplace comedy titled Intelligence. Schwimmer is set to star opposite British comedian Nick Mohammed. Mohammed, whose writing credits include The Martian and Christopher Robin, will also pen the script. The two will also serve as executive producers.

According to Deadline, the comedy is set at Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) in Cheltenham. Schwimmer will star as a power-hungry NSA agent who joins an inept and tactless computer analyst (Mohammed) and a newly-formed team tackling cyber-crime.

“Even though the stakes are really high for the team, fighting cyber-crime, our six-part comedy series reveals the reality is not dissimilar to any other office environment, from temperamental photocopiers to meeting rooms being double booked,” said Nerys Evans, Expectation’s Creative Director, Comedy. “David Schwimmer and Nick Mohammed have a fantastic ‘odd couple’ chemistry and the scripts are brilliantly funny, we can’t wait to see the world of Intelligence come to life.”

While Mohammed said that working with Schwimmer is “an absolute dream come true,” Schwimmer simply said, “I have no idea what this show is about but if it’s called Intelligence, naturally I’m going to be part of it.”

Jon Mountague, Head of Comedy, Sky Entertainment, added: “Nick Mohammed has written a brilliantly funny comedy series in Intelligence. David & Nick are hilarious together and so perfectly represent the special relationship between our two great nations. I can’t wait.”

Deadline reports that David Schwimmer has been tapped to star as Grace Adler’s (Debra Messing) new love interest for next season’s arc. 

The former Friends star has landed a recurring role in the upcoming second season of the Will & Grace revival which will be the comedy series’ 10th season overall. 

Earlier this year, co-creator Max Mutchnick told the outlet that the first season was “about coming back and seeing how the audience was going to respond, and they embraced the show, and that was thrilling.” The second season is about “trying to open up the series” and moving forward, he continued.

This means that season two will bring with it new things, including new love interests and relationship to the still single Grace and her roommate, Will (Eric McCormack). 

Rounding up guests appearances for the upcoming season are Chelsea Handler and the returning Alec Baldwin and Mary McCormack.

Will & Grace returns October 4 on NBC.
