‘Friends’ Cast Accepts 'All In Challenge,' Offers Fans To Join Them While Filming Reunion Special

The cast of the hit TV show “Friends” has joined the “All In Challenge” and offered fans a chance to see all of them while filming the reunion special for HBO’s upcoming streaming service, HBO Max.

Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel Green in the series, was the first member to announce that the whole cast has joined the campaign to raise funds for the people affected by the pandemic.

Aniston took to Instagram and noted that all the people behind the show are pretty excited to join the challenge that would help those struggling to get essential items during the outbreak. The “Morning Show” star further stated that they are giving a chance to their fans to see their favorite celebs filming for the upcoming special episode.

The lucky winner would also be allowed to choose five of his/her friends to accompany them to the shoot and sit in the audience to witness the filming process. She urged fans to donate to the “#AllInChallenge” campaign and join herself, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, and Matt Leblanc while they shoot the episode.

“We're so excited to join the ALL IN challenge to help keep people fed and healthy during this time. We're inviting you and five of YOUR friends to join the six of us on Stage 24. Be our personal guests in the audience for the taping of our @HBOMAX reunion, as we reminisce about the show and celebrate all the fun we had and get the whole Friends VIP experience on the Warner Bros. Studio Tour,” Aniston said.

The money will be donated to organizations like No Kid Hungry, Meals On Wheels America, Feeding America, and World Central Kitchen.

The acclaimed star concluded the post by urging fans to “stay connected” with their loved ones amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Until then, keep Facetiming, calling, DMing, and texting your friends and family. We gotta stay connected,” Aniston said.

As soon as Aniston posted the message on the photo-sharing platform, other cast members joined her in sharing individual messages for the fans and requested them to help those who really need support at present.

The news comes a few hours after it was reported that the iconic series will be available for streaming on HBO Max.

Meanwhile, the Hollywood Reporter recently cited sources in revealing that the makers have decided to delay the unscripted special after seeing how things are changing due to the coronavirus. Sources told the media outlet that the team and the main cast were all set to start filming next week in Burbank but decided to take a step back after the strict guidelines that were issued in the wake of the pandemic.
