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.
