Watch: Lisa Kudrow says she’s already shot for the Friends reunion
Lisa Kudrow has teased some details of the eagerly anticipated Friends reunion, confirming it is still going ahead and that she has already “shot a little something”.
It was confirmed last year that all six original cast members were coming back for an unscripted special, news that had fans of the long-running sitcom celebrating.
It was expected to arrive on on-demand service HBO Max in May but ended up being delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Kudrow has now assured fans that it is coming but did share something that people might have mixed feelings about – the stars will not be portraying their much-loved characters.
Speaking on the Literally! With Rob Lowe podcast, she said: "I pre-shot something for it already so we are definitely doing it because I already shot a little something.”
"It's not, like, a scripted thing,” said the actor, who starred as Phoebe Buffay.
“We're not portraying our characters.
“It's us getting together, which just doesn't happen a lot and has never happened in front of other people since 2004 when we stopped.”
Friends, which also starred Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer, ran for 10 series before wrapping up in 2004.
