Eric McCormack and Debra Messing promise a “bigger and brighter” show in a musical-inspired promo for NBC’s “Will & Grace” revival.
May 15 (UPI) — Will & Grace stars sing and dance in a first official trailer for the sitcom’s revival.
The musical-inspired promo sees Eric McCormack and Debra Messing promise a “bigger and brighter” show as their respective characters, Will Truman and Grace Adler. Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes also appear as Karen Walker and Jack McFarland.
“Did somebody say encore?! #WillAndGrace is back this fall on @NBC, ” the series wrote on its official Twitter account. “We’re back and ready to knock your socks off, honey!”
Will & Grace initially had an eight-season run on NBC from 1998 to 2006, and will return for a ninth season in the fall. Series creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan will serve as showrunners, with James Burrows as director and co-executive producer.
“We’re thrilled that one of the smartest, funniest and most defining comedies in NBC history is coming back, ” NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said in January. “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.”
Will & Grace focuses on the relationship between Will, a gay lawyer, and his best friend Grace, a straight interior designer. The show’s stars previously reunited in September for a 10-minute scene about the presidential election.
