LONDON: After 17 years, the highly popular US sitcom “Friends” will on Thursday return for one special episode, and fans in the Middle East can enjoy watching it on OSN.
Titled “The One Where They All Got Back Together,” the episode was initially set to stream on HBO Max in the US to promote the launch of the new streaming service. However, due to popular demand, other streaming services around the world have picked up the episode.
That means that fans in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and anywhere in the Middle East can tune in to OSN on Thursday at 11:01 Gulf standard time and see the cast back together in the original studio.
Not only will it feature all six of the show’s original stars – Jennifer Anniston, Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer – but the episode will also host various celebrity guests including former English footballer David Beckham, Canadian singer Justin Bieber, South Korean boy band BTS, English actor and TV talk show host James Corden, US model Cindy Crawford, American singer-songwriter Lady Gaga, English actor Kit Harington, US actress Mindy Kaling, and prize-winning Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai.
The final episode of “Friends” was broadcasted in May 2004 and was reportedly watched by 52.2 million viewers.
