It was only one of the greatest television sitcoms of all time and honestly, yes, we’re still a little upset that Will & Grace left our screens in 2006.
But not anymore because WILL & GRACE IS OFFICIALLY RETURNING, you guys.
After months of speculation and misleading tweets from Debra Messing, the return was confirmed on Thursday when NBC dropped its first trailer for the upcoming season.
And yes, we can confirm that the whole band – Will, Grace, Karen and Jack – is back together.
“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 following the announcement.
“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.”
NBC Entertainment’s president Jennifer Salke agreed, saying, “We started talking with [Max] Mutchnick and [David] Kohan (the original showrunners) about producing new episodes right after they shot the secret reunion show back in September. And the fact that all four of the original stars were excited about getting back into production is a testament to the joyful experience they had doing nearly 200 episodes for eight seasons. Few things cut through the clutter these days, especially in comedy, and ‘Will & Grace’ is one of the best.”
