NBC Reveals First Official Promo Pictures For "Will & Grace" Revival
They're back! Get it?
The stars of Will & Grace took to social media yesterday to share a new promo poster for the upcoming revival of their beloved NBC sitcom, which will premiere this fall.
"Here we go again, honey," Megan Mullally tweeted with the poster, which features her character Karen Walker's signature martini glass. She and fellow castmates Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, and Sean Hayes are shown sitting in director chairs with their backs to the camera.
A followup image shows the cast face front.
NBC confirmed the limited series return back in January after the cast and creators had reunited for a viral video urging fans to vote for Hillary Clinton in the presidential election.
Will & Grace ran eight seasons from 1998 until 2006. Original executive producers Max Mutchnick and David Kohan have returned for the 12-episode revival, as has legendary sitcom director James Burrows.
"Dave and I are absolutely thrilled about the opportunity to write what Will, Grace, Jack and Karen are thinking about in 2017," said Mutchnick in a previous statement.
"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," added NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt.
“It’s a whole new world now where being gay and lesbian is not something that people are hiding like they did when we started almost 20 years ago,” said Messing in a recent interview. “I think that there’s an opportunity to now celebrate all the other initials of LGBTQ."
No premiere date for the new season has been announced.
