He is also not the only actor who has teased details about the upcoming special episode, with co-star David Schwimmer revealing in a recent interview with Andy Cohen, that the cast and film crew would begin production in early March

Explaining that following the difficult delays caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, he was finally “heading out to LA,” now that the producers “figured out a way to film safely.

David, who portrayed Ross Geller, added that “there’s going to be a portion of it that we film outside,” because of safety protocols.

Lisa Kudrow also confessed that the audience can expect to see all the cast reunited, including Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc and Courtney Cox, however they will not be reprising their original characters because it’s a special episode but not a continuation of the original NBC show.
