Fans of Friends will have the right to bite into their Proust madeleine. TF1 and Salto will broadcast in France the special episode of the series, which will bring together the six main characters after a 17-year absence, broadcasters announced on Monday, confirming information from the site Puremedias.
This “Friends meeting” will be launched on Salto simultaneously with its posting in the United States on the streaming service HBO Max, scheduled for Thursday, said a spokesperson for the French streaming platform. For its part, TF1 has confirmed that it will broadcast the episode “soon”, after Salto. He should appear in the first part of the evening on the first channel, with a dub in French.
This highly anticipated episode titled The one where they meet (The One Where They Get Back Together), will not resume the plot of the series, which ended in 2004 after 10 seasons. But we will find the six main actors who will share memories and anecdotes, alongside many guest stars, from Canadian singer Justin Bieber to South Korean group BTS, including former footballer David Beckham and singer Lady Gaga.
In France, this sitcom which marked an entire generation had started on Canal Jimmy before being broadcast in clear from 1997 on France 2. It was rebroadcast on many PAF channels and its 10 seasons are also available on Netflix.
