Legendary comedy series Will & Grace is returning for a new series.
NBC confirmed today that it has given approval to a new 10-episode series, which will reunite Emmy winners Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Sean Hayes, and Megan Mullally with the programme creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan.
NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said “We’re thrilled that one of the smartest, funniest, and most defining comedies in NBC history is coming back. This groundbreaking series for everything from gay rights to social and political commentary — all disguised as a high-speed train of witty pop culture — is coming back where it belongs.”
Airing on NBC from 1998 to 2006, “Will & Grace” was one of the first broadcast tv shows to feature gay series regulars.
Members of the cast have been sharing their excitement on Twitter.
