The special reunion is set to be filmed at Warner Bros. studio’s stage 24 in Burbank, California. This is where the original series was filmed. It was reported in March that the filming of the show has been pushed to May due to the Corona Virus spread. However, the reunion will be ready to launch this year on HBO’s max.
Conflicting information about the filming has been revealed by the stars of the show. LeBlanc told Kelly Clarkson that the cast already filmed, according to TV Guide. That particular episode was taped in February and was released in April.
Jimmy Kimmel was told by Cox in mid-March that they were supposed to film over the course of two days in that month. The shooting got postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic. She said that they had a meeting with everyone except for Schwimmer who was not in New York at that time.
