Matthew Perry, who starred in the hit series as Chandler Bing, announced on Twitter that the highly anticipated reunion will now take place in 2021.
“Friends reunion is postponed until early March,” Perry tweeted. “Looks like we have a busy year ahead. And that’s how I like it!”
His co-star David Schwimmer said in July they hoped to start filming but things had been delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Schwimmer, who played Ross Geller on the beloved sitcom, had told Jimmy Fallon they had to “wait until it was safe.”
“Friends” co-creator Marta Kauffman said she wanted a live audience for the special.
“It’s a show that isn’t scripted, but that’s how the show works,” Kaufman told Entertainment Tonight when the reunion was first delayed last spring. “We’re going to need a live audience. Even as we socially distance that live audience, that’s really a big part of what ‘Friends’ is. We can’t do it without them.”
The special will air on HBO Max, which is owned by CNN’s parent company, WarnerMedia.
