What time is the Friends Reunion released on HBO Max and Sky?

Update: Friends The Reunion is now available on HBO Max in the US and Sky in the UK. 

Original story: Friends: The Reunion is finally here. Long-time fans of the pop-cultural phenomenon are gearing up to reunite with their six favorite fictional buddies, with 'The One Where They Got Back Together' set to arrive in less than 24 hours.

Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox-Arquette, Lisa Kudrow, Matt Le Blanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer are returning for the unscripted special, which will look back at the series' best moments and why it was such a universal hit in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The one-off episode, which will also see guest appearances, table reads and a lengthy sit-down chat with host James Corden, is due to be released on HBO Max and Sky on Thursday, May 27. 

You might be wondering, then, when you should settle into your La-Z Boy recliner chair to take a trip down memory lane with Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross.

Friends: The Reunion will only be available to HBO Max subscribers. If you wish to watch it when it does arrive on HBO's streaming platform, you will need to sign up for a subscription.
