2月21日，HBO Max确认《老友记》的主演詹妮弗·安妮斯顿、柯特妮·考克斯、马特·勒布朗、丽莎·库卓、
Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer will come together for an exclusive reunion special set to air in May.

with Reese Witherspoon commenting to Aniston, “WHAT? This is the greatest news. Ever!”

It’s shaping up to be an especially big year for Aniston, who won a Screen Actors Guild Award for The Morning Show in January.
对于安妮斯顿来说，这将是特别重要的一年。今年1月，她凭借《早间秀》获得了美国演员工会奖。

据知情人士透露，詹妮弗对这次重聚“非常兴奋”。
“Friends was always the most special show to her.”

The reunion will be filmed on the show’s iconic original soundstage, more than15 years after Friends’ series finale wrapped in 2004.

The special will be unscripted, and the cast will not reprise their roles.
特辑没有剧本，演员们也不会扮演原来的角色。
“That was not something the cast was interested in,” an insider told People in November.
“剧组对那并不感兴趣，”一位内部人士在11月告诉《人物》杂志。
“It has to be the right treatment and the right timing for everyone to sign back on.”
“必须得正确对待，并且在合适的时机，让每个人都能重新签约。”
Now the cast members, who made TV history in 2002 when they collectively negotiated for a record-breaking $1million per episode,
2002年，该剧组集体协商了破纪录的每集100万美元的片酬，创造了影视史，
are reportedly set to earn $2.5 million each for the special,
据报道，此次重聚特辑每人将获得250万美元的片酬，
though HBO Max, which will be airing the special alongside the show’s 236 original episodes as the new streaming service launches, has not commented about the paydays.
不过HBO Max——在新流媒体服务启动时，将连同236集原片一起播出此集特辑——并未对片酬发表任何意见。
But ultimately, says the Aniston source, the Friends reunion is happening because of fans’ undying devotion to the Emmy-winning and pop-culture-defining series.
但安妮斯顿的消息来源表示，《老友记》之所以能重聚，都多亏了粉丝们对这部获得艾美奖、定义流行文化的影视剧的钟爱。
“Friends fans have really been wanting a reunion,” says the source.
“《老友记》的粉丝们真的很希望看到重聚，”消息人士说。
“And Jen always felt flattered that this was the case.”
“而詹妮弗总是对此感到受宠若惊。”
And after the six costars got together for dinner in L.A. last fall, “they decided it was time to reward the fans.”
去年秋天，六位主演在洛杉矶共进晚餐后，“他们决定是时候回报粉丝了。”
The cast won’t spill the beans on details just yet.
演员们现在还不会透露细节。
“Jen is being very secretive,” the source says of Aniston, who recently celebrated her 51st birthday at a dinner with pals, including Cox.
“詹妮弗一直很神秘，”消息人士说，安妮斯顿最近和考克斯等好友共进晚餐庆祝51岁生日。
“But she is very much looking forward to the reunion.
但她非常期待这次团聚。
And she can’t wait to see how fans will react.”
