The much-anticipated 'Friends' reunion special has been delayed amid the global coronavirus pandemic.

According to reports, the filming of the one-off special, which was due to take place next week in Burbank, California, has been cancelled.

There has been no new date set for the filming yet.

The unscripted special, featuring Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer, was set to be broadcast in May on the upcoming HBO Max streaming service.

It was officially given a formal green light a month ago.
