The trailer for the highly anticipated Friends reunion special was released on Wednesday, sending fans into a frenzy.
Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt Le Blanc, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry reunited for a HBO Max special, which will stream on May 27.
A host of special guests will be making cameo appearances in the special, including James Michael Tyler (who played Gunther), Maggie Wheeler (who played Janice) and Tom Selleck (who played Richard).

However, one name missing from the cameo list was Paul Rudd – who played Phoebe Buffay’s beloved husband Mike Hannigan.
Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: “I’ll be crying at this friends reunion anyway never mind if Paul Rudd doesn’t make an appearance.”
Another tweeted: “HOW CAN PAUL RUDD NOT BE IN THE FRIENDS REUNION even joey’s hand twin is on the guest list. but where is phoebe’s husband!”

I’m excited for the Friends reunion and happy it’s not an actual episode. I just think there’s no way they could do it and make everyone happy.
My only concern is where is Paul Rudd?#justiceforpaulrudd

I had a dream the other night in which I was really stressed as to whether or not Paul Rudd could make the Friends reunion?
