That "break"? It's over. It's time to watch Friends Reunion online at HBO Maxx and catch up with the six New Yorkers who have long dominated the best couch in Central Park. The special is a mix of pre-recorded scenes of the group getting older and reunion-style content with the cast chatting about it all.

Even if no one told you life would turn out this way, if you've been so detached from society that your social life is falling apart, there's Friends Reunion for you. Even the staff who made fun of the show are planning to watch it. What better way to spend your time than watching the cast of the 90s hit show reunite, more than 17 years after it went off the air?

The special will include an episode that will have the cast laughing hysterically, "The One Where Everybody Finds Out!" will also feature a table read of the show.

In the Friends Reunion trailer, the cast can be seen emerging to applause from the live audience and entering the set with the original theme song and the fountain and sofa that appear in the opening credits. Yes, Rembrandt's "I'll Be There for You" is still there for the Friends cast after all these years.

Here's where things get weird. Sure, the six main cast members (Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer) return, but the big list of special guests quickly becomes confusing. And where is Paul Rudd (who plays Phoebe's third husband Mike Hannigan)?
