Friends New Game Show Tests Your TV Show Skills
A fun new "Friends" game show is coming to Max, just in time for the show's 30th anniversary. According to Variety, the four-part series, called "Fast Friends", will be filmed at The "Friends" Experience in New York City. This two-story, 17,000-square-foot attraction is packed with 18 rooms and sets from the beloved show. It’s like stepping right into the world of Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe. (They have a similar experience in Boston, called "The One in Boston" and it's fabulous. You can get tickets HERE through October.) In "Fast Friends," contestants will face off in some seriously fun challenges. From dashing through Rachel and Monica's apartment to solving puzzles in Joey and Chandler's bachelor pad, this game show has it all. Oh, and of course, there’s a stop at Central Perk. Teams will answer trivia, play games, and complete puzzles to prove they’re the ultimate "Friends" superfans. The winning team gets crowned the champions of the "Friends" fandom! Filming starts in October, but we don’t know when it will air just yet. Meanwhile, Max is going all out for the anniversary. You’ll find special bonus content, a TikTok filter, and a refreshed design for the "Friends" page, plus curated episodes and other surprises in the app. If you can’t make it to New York, don’t worry—the "Friends" Experience is also in London, and it’s headed to Las Vegas soon. This fan-favorite attraction has already hit 25 cities in eight countries, with more to come. Wondering what the original cast is up to now? Jennifer Aniston is still starring in movies and on The Morning Show. Courteney Cox is producing and recently appeared in Scream. Lisa Kudrow works behind the scenes and acts in various projects. Matt LeBlanc starred in Episodes and Man with a Plan. David Schwimmer has taken on dramatic roles. Sadly, Matthew Perry died from a Ketamine overdose. His personal assistant and others have been charged in his death.
