The quickest team will win the title of “The Ultimate Fast Friends Champion.”

The competition series is produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon. The new four-part game show is executive produced by Dan Sacks, Bridgette Theriault, and Dan Norris. Richard Burgio serves as co-executive producer.

The Friends Experience also has locations in Las Vegas, London, Sydney, Paris, and São Paolo.

30 years after its debut in 1994, Friends remains one of television’s most beloved series. One of the highest-rated shows on television in its original network run, the series remains a perennial go-to in syndication and on streaming services such as Max, and it continues to be a smash hit worldwide.
