The 30th Anniversary of ‘Friends’
(Los Angeles = Yonhap News) Correspondent Im Mina = The globally popular American sitcom ‘Friends’ has celebrated its 30th anniversary since its first broadcast.
According to Max, a video streaming platform under Warner Bros. Discovery in the US, on the 24th (local time), the company plans to hold global commemorative events, such as producing a game show called ’FAST FRIENDS’ in which fans will participate, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Friends.
The four-part game show, which goes into production next month, will feature the cast racing through the apartments of Rachel, Monica, Joey and Chandler on set at the Friends Experience: The One in New York City before stopping for coffee at the Central Perk coffee shop, as well as competing in Friends-related quizzes, puzzles and more.
The winner of this game show will be awarded the title ‘Ultimate Friends Fan’.
Warner Bros. also announced plans to expand similar experiences to the New York Friends Experience to various parts of the world in the future.
Max also added that Friends will be available to subscribers of the platform’s ad-free plan in 4K UHD with support for cutting-edge technologies such as Dolby Vision and HDR10.
Max’s special Friends page also features a collection of the most-viewed episodes, as well as a themed episode collection corner.
Friends is a sitcom that aired on the American NBC channel for ten years from September 22, 1994 to September 6, 2004. It gained huge popularity by comically depicting the love and friendship of six young men and women living in New York.
The film stars Jennifer Aniston (Rachel), Courteney Cox (Monica), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe), Matt LeBlanc (Joey), David Schwimmer (Ross), and Matthew Perry (Chandler).
Among them, Perry’s death at the age of 54 in October last year caused a worldwide wave of mourning.
