HBO Max has great news for those who will want to become its subscribers after it is officially launched to customers worldwide, and we are talking about something that has been eagerly awaited for several weeks. It seems that HBO has managed to convince some of the actors of the famous Friends series to return in a special episode that will be produced for the release of HBO Max during this year, the contracts for its production being signed.
HBO Max was in discussions for several months to produce this special series with the Friends, and in the end an agreement was reached with some of the main actors, so the episode will be produced. We are talking about a special one-hour episode that HBO Max will have separately from all the seasons of the series Friends, which is still very popular, and it cost HBO about 500 million dollars to license it for several years, the amount being huge.
HBO Max: The GREAT News Expected by the WHOLE World at Launch
HBO Max Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer will be present in this special episode of Friends, so exactly the people who matter. It seems that the special episode of Friends will be an unscripted one, so the actors will be able to speak freely, and we might be talking about one of the most interesting episodes made so far for this extremely important, and still extremely loved, series worldwide.
HBO Max bought with more than 500 million dollars the right to broadcast the more than 236 episodes of the series Friends, and for the special episode it will pay only the main actors with amounts between 2.5 and 3 million dollars. Just the production of this special episode of Friends could cost HBO about 20 million dollars, or more, so it would be good if the number of subscribers for HBO Max is one according to everyone's expectations.
HBO Max it will be launched in the spring of this year, but in a limited number of countries, so not everyone will be able to enjoy the service, and it will not arrive in Romania very soon.
