Our prayers have been answered. NBC have released a press statement confirming the popular sitcom is back for a 10-episode limited revival.
Rumours of a revival had been circulating since the team got together to do a webisode in the lead-up to the US election late last year.
Stars Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally will all be back on board, as well as the original series creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan. James Burrows will also resume his role as director and executive producer.
“Dave and I are absolutely thrilled about the opportunity to write what Will, Grace, Jack and Karen are thinking about in 2017,” Max said.

NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt is thrilled bring the much-loved series back to life. “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,” he said.
Sean Hayes took to Facebook to share the exciting news, “It is with great excitement that I can confirm and OFFICIALLY announce here today that “Will & Grace” is coming back for a 10-episode limited run on @NBC during the 2017/18 season,” he wrote. “Bring out the sweater vests!!!”
Will & Grace ran from 1998 to 2006 and was nominated for an impressive 83 Emmy Awards during that time.
We can’t wait to see what the gang are up to in 2017!
