LOS ANGELES Its a reunion fans have been dreaming about for nearly 12 years. Next month, the cast of Friends will be there for you once again.

The whole beloved gang Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc has signed on to appear in an NBC special in honor of legendary sitcom director James Burrows.

The special, slated to air Feb. 21, will feature cast reunions from other iconic Burrows sitcoms, including Will and Grace, Cheers, Taxi and Frasier, according to TV Line. Stars from The Big Bang Theory and Mike & Molly are also set to appear.

Superfans, be advised: While the Friends gang will all participate, they may not be together for a group hug.

Im hoping all six of them will be all in the same room at the same time, but Im not sure if we can logistically pull that off, NBCs chairman of entertainment, Bob Greenblatt, told BuzzFeed News.

Friends enjoyed an enormously popular 10-season run on NBC.

Burrows directed 15 episodes of Friends and 200 episodes of Will & Grace and has been in the industry for 40 years. He directed his 1,000th episode of television in November, according to TV Line.
