'Friends' reunion on tap at HBO Max

Morning Business Outlook: AT&T announces the launch of HBO Max, the company's streaming service that will feature shows, movies and series from Warner Brothers and original content; Amazon is saying goodbye to delivery fees on Amazon Fresh orders.

After spending $425 million for the rights to "Friends," it was just a question of how AT&T would leverage the deal and a reunion appears to be the answer.

HBO Max, the new streaming service from AT&T's WarnerMedia which will premiere next spring, is in negotiations -- according to several reports -- with the cast for an unscripted special. This will not be a "reboot" that other popular sitcoms such as "Mad About You" and "Will & Grace" have done. The format is still to be determined.

In October, Jennifer Anniston set Instagram on fire with a reunion cast shot with co-stars Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer.

In a recent appearance on "Ellen," Anniston told host Ellen DeGeneres that “I would love for there to be something, but we don’t know what that something is,” she said. “So we’re just trying. We’re working on something.”
