'Will & Grace' Revival Has Been Renewed For Another Season

When the revival of Will & Grace hit our TV screens last year, we knew that we'd want more than just one installment and it sounds like the head honchos over at NBC have heard our prayers, as per a new report from Deadline

Over the weekend, it was announced that an upcoming 18-episode season (which is technically the series' 11th overall season) will return to NBC in fall 2019. During the cast's appearance at the Paley Center for Media's PaleyFest in Los Angeles, our friendly foursome of Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally, and Sean Hayes, reportedly jumped off their chats and offered the audience some fancy footwork to celebrate the big news. "As far as I'm concerned, we can't get enough of Will & Grace and 23 more episodes is music to my ears," NBC entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said in a statement. "We're eternally grateful that Debra, Eric, Sean, and Megan feel the same way and wanted to keep this good thing going."

If that wasn't enough, Saturday also marked the 20th anniversary of the pilot taping for the original series, which ran on the network for eight seasons from 1998 to 2006. Hayes took to Instagram to commemorate the milestone, captioning old school and new school photos of the cast. "It's hard to believe that 20 years ago we shot the pilot," he wrote. 

Will & Grace is set to wrap up its current season on April 5, concluding a star-studded season, which featured appearances from the likes of Cheyenne Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, and Molly Shannon.
