The Emmy-Winning Actress And Her Friends Co-Stars Recently Spoke On The “Emotional” Experience Of Filming The Reunion As Well As The Impact Of The Much-Loved Sitcom

Kudrow also appeared with her co-stars in this week’s PEOPLE exclusive looking back on the iconic sitcom’s 10-season run and her recent meet-up with Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer, opening up about feeling “emotional” while filming the reunion 17 years after the end of the show.

Reflecting on the show and its impact during the exclusive interview, Perry said “It was a character-driven funny, not timely funny. They didn’t make timely jokes. They didn’t make jokes about O.J. Simpson. They made character-driven jokes about people — and people are going to come back time and time again and watch that.”

On Wednesday week ahead of its release, the streaming service has dropped the much-anticipated official trailer and key art for the unscripted special airing on May 27th.
