NEW YORK (NYTIMES) – Don't worry if it hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year: The cast of "Friends" is making a comeback to your TV screen.

Fifteen years after audiences last saw Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey on network television, the gang is returning for an untitled, unscripted exclusive special for HBO Max, a new streaming service.

In addition to the special, subscribers will also have access to all 236 episodes of the Emmy Award-winning series when the streaming service makes its debut in May, executives said in a statement Friday (Feb 21).

"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, the streaming service's chief content officer.

On Instagram, cast members posted a Rolling Stone cover photo from the show's early days.

"It's happening," they wrote.

The announcement of the unscripted special comes just weeks after the show's removal from Netflix.
