How to watch the Friends Reunion in the UK as channel and time is announced

The big Friends Reunion has finally been given a UK release date.

Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Courteney Cox and Matt Le Blanc, aka Rachel, Ross, Phoebe, Chandler, Monica and Joey, have all reunited for a one-off special nearly two decades after the hit American sitcom ended.

A trial for the highly-anticipated reunion was released earlier this week ahead of its release on HBO Max next Thursday, May 27.

The two-minute trailer gives fans the at the cast reenacting iconic scenes from the popular sitcom as well as sharing backstage secrets with the programme's host James Corden and wandering around the set at Warner Bros Studios.

And as well as fun and games, it is no doubt set to get emotional as the group reminisce over the 10 series which ran from 1994 to 2004.

But it's also good news for UK fans as details have finally been released on when and where they can watch.

It has now been confirmed that Friends: The Reunion will be shown in the UK on May 27 at 8pm on Sky One.

In a tweet with a picture of the cast on the iconic Central Perk sofa, Sky TV said: "The One Where… we bring you Friends: The Reunion."

The reunion will also see a star-studded line-up of guests join the main cast.

They include David Beckham, Justin Bieber, BTS, James Corden, Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Lady Gaga, Kit Harington, Tom Selleck, Reese Witherspoon and Malala Yousafzai.

The cast will not be in character and will appear as themselves in the special, which was repeatedly delayed because of the pandemic after originally being set to arrive on the HBO Max streaming platform in May last year.
