Remember how happy you were when you heard they were in early talks for an unscripted Friends reunion on HBO Max? Well, now there is some news that is going to make you feel like you did when you heard the sitcom was leaving Netflix. That is because HBO Max’s Chief Creative Officer Kevin Reilly said that it is a “maybe.”
Reilly told the press at the TCAs that “There is interest all around, and yet we can’t get the interests all alighted to push the button on it.” What is holding it back from happening? According to Deadline, it is 8 digits. The cast and Warner Bros are 8 digits away from a number that will work for them both.
To that I say, I hope it doesn’t happen. Screw the greedy bastards. Don’t they make enough in residuals to make the fans happy. If it is not for the fans, then syndication will dry up and so will the money. Maybe instead of asking for so much for themselves, they could donate the money to charity. What do they need that much money for?
