HBO Max’s FRIENDS: THE REUNION
- After 15 years, nine months, and innumerable fan requests from around the globe, FRIENDS stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer reunited for the HBO Max special FRIENDS: THE REUNION. The much-anticipated special is available for streaming in Canada, exclusively on Crave.
- Following the special’s debut last Thursday, May 27, HBO Max’s FRIENDS: THE REUNION becomes the most-watched title for first-week streams in Crave history, beating streaming records set by GAME OF THRONES and ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE*. Since the premiere of the special, streams of the original series have increased 136%, the most watched days ever for FRIENDS on Crave**.
- The hit HBO Max comedy HACKS continues with two new episodes Thursday, June 3, starring Jean Smart as legendary Las Vegas comedian Deborah Vance, and Hannah Einbinder as Ava, a young, outcast television writer. The series, which premiered May 13, has been receiving rave reviews, being called a “splendidly dark, biting comedy” by The Globe and Mail, and “a rich contribution to the buddy comedy tradition, never superficial or skin-deep and always very, very funny” by The San Francisco Chronicle. Speaking of series star Jean Smart, Indie Wire says, “anyone enamored with her magnificent prop work and prickly retorts on HBO’s MARE OF EASTTOWN will be in seventh heaven watching her run the gamut in HACKS.”
- Dropping during Pride Month, the 2008 film MILK drops on Friday, June 4***. The film tells the true story of Harvey Milk (Sean Penn) and his struggles as an American gay activist who became California’s first openly gay elected official. Penn’s role as Harvey Milk won him the Best Actor Oscar® at the 81st Academy Awards. MILK joins Crave’s LGBTQ x Inside Out Collection, which also includes HBO Max’s LEGENDARY and GENERA+ION; HBO’s PAUSE WITH SAM JAY and EUPHORIA; SHOWTIME’s THE L WORD: GENERATION Q; and STARZ’s VIDA. The collection also features a number of documentaries including HBO’s WELCOME TO CHECHNYA and TRANSHOOD, SHOWTIME’s XY: CHELSEA, and more.
- SHOWTIME’s four-part docuseries THE KINGS premieres Sunday, June 6 at 8 p.m. ET, chronicling the fierce rivalry between the world-champion boxers known as the “Four Kings:” Roberto “Manos de Piedra” Durán, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Thomas “The Hitman” Hearns, and Sugar Ray Leonard. THE KINGS traces boxing’s evolution from the end of Muhammad Ali’s era to the era of the Four Kings, set against the seismic political and socio-economic shifts taking place in the United States. Through in-depth interviews and archival footage, the series also examines the very personal battles that each man waged on his unique journey to the centre of the sports world. SHOWTIME’s THE KINGS follows a weekly release schedule, with new episodes dropping Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.
