Fans might have to wait a little longer to see the Friends cast all together again.

Though a reunion was floated in the form of an HBO Max unscripted special, HBO Max Chief Content Officer Kevin Reilly said on Wednesday that while most parties involved were certainly interested, it's been difficult to actually get a green light, reported InStyle.

"There’s interest all the way around, and yet we can’t seem to get that interest aligned to push the button on it," he said at the Television Critics Association tour. "Today, unfortunately, it’s a maybe."

Gathering all six cast members can't be an easy feat, especially with how busy the stars have been lately with projects of their own. Getting a big ensemble cast together has also been a reason why another season of HBO hit Big Little Lies, starring Reese Witherspoon is unlikely to happen.

While fans might have to wait longer for the highly-anticipated reunion, Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel during the show's 10 series, has been posting to her Instagram mini-gatherings of the original cast.

Could a 'Friends' reunion be happening in 2020?

The 50-year old star first hinted at the mystery project she and the rest of the Friends cast are working on during The Late Show with Stephan Colbert in November 2019. She kept saying that “something is happening” in an attempt to avoid further grilling on what that may be.

Meanwhile, Courtney Cox, who played Monica, caught up with her beloved NBC sitcom co-stars, including Mathew Perry, for a catch up around the same time which made rounds on social media.

The cast gatherings hasn't been without its revelations and gossip. It was revealed by US Weekly that Perry, who played Cox’s on-screen husband, has reportedly ‘always been in love’ with [Courteney]’, surprising fans.  The source also added that “Matthew has never fully been able to get over her,” reported US Weekly.
