More than a decade after it said its goodbye from television, Will & Grace is coming back to NBC. As far back as last October, we knew that a revival was in the works. Then in January we learned that it was going to have a ten-episode order. The network has since upped the number of episodes to a dozen.
As competing networks begin to outline fall prime-time schedules, NBC has released the official trailer for the Will & Grace reunion. The five and a-half minute trailer has the titular stars (Eric McCormack and Debra Messing) along with Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally singing their way back into our hearts as if they never said goodbye.
Will & Grace was a fixture on NBC from 1998 to 2006, and one of the first broadcast shows to feature gay characters. Original series creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan are back on board and will serve as writers, showrunners and executive producers. James Burrows, who helmed every episode of the show during its initial run, is back in the director’s chair once again and will also serve as an executive producer.
