"After speculation has swirled about a special 'Friends' show, Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer and other original cast members have confirmed it's happening," reports Channel 2.

It won't be on NBC however, the old home network.  The special will be on the HBO Max streaming service.

Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer and other cast members started posting the news on social media over the weekend.

Both posted a photo of the entire cast on Instagram, tagging each other and HBO Max with the caption, "It's happening."

So how did this happen?

According to multiple reports earlier this month, the cast members had been in talks to film a one-hour special for the streaming service that launches this year.

Look what they will make,

The show's original cast members, Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, Aniston and Schwimmer, are reportedly receiving an estimated $2.25 million to $2.5 million in the deal for the show.

HBO Max is set to launch in May.

It promises exclusive streaming on popular shows like "Friends." An agreement has been reached to bring HBO Max to YouTube TV in a new way to promote the upcoming streaming service to as many subscribers as possible.
