Months after the 25th anniversary of its launch, the cast of the iconic comedy series Friends is expected to get together for an unscripted reunion special. It will help launch the upcoming streaming platform HBO Max, where the Friends library is one of the main attractions.
Following tough negotiations, I hear Friends stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry have reached an agreement in principle with series' producer Warner Bros. TV to do what I hear would be an hourlong special. No one would comment, but I hear each of the six stars will be paid in the $3 million-$4 million range for appearing in the special.
More proof that being on a hit TV show may be the sweetest deal in the industry.HBO Max nears deal for unscripted "Friends" reunion special.

so is this a documentary thing or like a new one hour episode?
Unscripted so it isn't an episode. Probably just a reunion thing where they get together and reminisce over clips.
Another one?I completely forgot that The Soup revival is next week.
It'll be interesting to see how that goes.
Kinda, it's more based on the McHale era allegedly
probably already posted, but March 5th for Castlevania S3!
Me too. His Netflix show was dragged down by 85 plugs per episode for Netflix Originals.I know he's beyond the Soup, but I really miss him doing the original incarnation.

In pop culture, women are often objectified and disposed of. But even when we’re not being victimized, the alternative leaves much to be desired.www.nytimes.com
This interview, I relate and vibes with all of it. This is why I'll forever miss The OA, truly a unique show in that regard.
how are we listing Rick & Morty Season 4 btw? 2 seperate listings for each half?
You mean any show Dan Harmon has ever been involved with, right?
Maybe they'll even let you remove that TV show you watched 15 minutes of 4 months ago from your "Keep Watching" list.
Kinda curious what's going on over at Showtime. They have a lot of long running shows coming off the air and not much in the pipe to replace them from what I've seen.

We pretend that show ended after the second season before the toxic fanbase ruined it for everyone, obviously.how are we listing Rick & Morty Season 4 btw? 2 seperate listings for each half?
Lmao, it makes absolutely no sense. Who wants to watch a boring ass unscripted Friends special? At least make it scripted so it's something fun, shit.
No.
I'm still shocked that Showtime would do one of their longest running and most successful series dirty like that.
So $18-24 million dollars just to put those 6 actors in a room together to talk about Friends for an hour.
holy fuck what an enormous waste of money
It didn't help the debate was last night too and post Iowa.

I kinda can't believe how good The Morning Show is. Much better than I expected. I mean I knew Little America would be great but I figured this would just be light soapy fluff. Looking forward to checking out For All Mankind and Mythic Quest.
What am I looking at here? Is this a play on another meme or is it just jamila with her name drops?
Yeah i knew that. For some reason it didn't show the video it just showed up as a pic of Tahani in the thumbnail. WiFi was messing up on me I guess cause it's happened before on era to me.
Thanks for posting that. Seems a long shot, but maybe it will get a little traction overseas.Interesting interview with Carla Gugino partially about Jett and Cinemax:

Not entirely sure how the premium females will react to this.The Lionsgate-backed premium cable network on Sunday — ahead of the series finale of the flagship drama — announced three more spinoff series in what it is calling the Power Universe. Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Power Book IV: Influence and Power Book V: Force join the previously revealed Power Book II: Ghost and bring the franchise to a total of four upcoming offshoots from Courtney A. Kemp's original.
Raising Kanan, the third show, is a prequel story that is set in the '90s and explores the early years of Power character Kanan Stark (played by series exec producer 50 Cent). The character has been a staple through all six seasons, either as recurring, series regular and, in the final season, a guest star. The fourth drama, Influence, follows Larenz Tate's character, Rashad Tate, in his ruthless pursuit of power. Tate joined Power in season four as a recurring player and was promoted to regular for the final two seasons. The fifth series, Force, revolves around Joseph Sikora's Tommy Egan as he cuts ties and puts New York in his rearview mirror for good.
Power: Trial by Jury coming next fall.Four spinoffs should be the point where you look at what you're doing and realize you might be doing too much.
