Call it “The One With the Game Show.”
To mark the 30th anniversary of Friends, Max has greenlit a four-episode game show based on the classic comedy. Titled Fast Friends, the show is set to begin production next month at The Friends Experience interactive exhibit in New York. Warner Bros. Unscripted Television and Warner Horizon are behind the show.
Fast Friends will put players in re-creations of the sitcom’s iconic sets. The show’s description reads, “From racing through Rachel and Monica’s apartment to darting across Joey and Chandler’s bachelor pad and grabbing a coffee at Central Perk, fans will relive their favorite moments while being put to the test with trivia, puzzles, and games that will keep even the most die-hard Friends fans on their toes. The quickest team will win the title of Ultimate Friends Fan.”
Friends premiered on Sept. 22, 1994, and ran for 10 seasons on NBC, becoming one of the biggest shows of the network’s Must-See TV era. It has lived on ever since in syndication and streaming; Max became the show’s exclusive streaming home in 2021.
In addition to the game show, Max is also marking Friends‘ 30th anniversary with several themed collections showcasing highlights for each character and the most watched episodes.
Dan Sacks, Bridgette Theriault and Dan Norris are executive producing Fast Friends. Richard Burgio is co-EP.
