Will & Grace Gracing Our Screens With 10 New Episodes
The gang’s all here for a 10 episode, limited edition reunion run on NBC in the 2017-2018 season, according to the network today.
More than ten years after concluding it’s eight season run, Will & Grace is coming back to NBC for a 10-episode limited run in the 2017-2018 season, according to the network earlier today. The original cast is all on board: Eric McCormack as Will Truman, Debra Messing as Grace Adler, Megan Mullally as Karen Walker, and Sean Hayes as Jack McFarland, as well as original director James Burrows, and original series creators Max Mutchnick and David Johan back as showrunners.
Even Rosario (Shelley Morrison) makes an appearance in the first promo. (I mean, really, you can’t have the show without her.)

It all came together after a get-out-the-vote video starring the cast last fall left fans feeling nostalgic and craving a revival comeback a-la-Gilmore Girls.
Mutchnick was quoted in the press release, saying
"“Dave and I are absolutely thrilled about the opportunity to write what Will, Grace, Jack and Karen are thinking about in 2017″."
The cast all celebrated the official news on Twitter today, sharing their excitement with fans after having teased the reunion ever since the get-out-the-vote video premiered in October 2016.
And Jack and Will were back at it already.
