UPDATE: (4/6/2017) — The news just keeps getting better for Will & Grace fans!
According to EW, NBC is upping the number of new episodes from 10 to 12.
After an election video featuring the cast members went viral last year, fans clamored for a revival, and in January of this year, NBC confirmed the news.
All the main cast members will be reprising their roles and the original show’s creators and director/producer will also return, so there should be continuity of the plot from the original series.
We can’t wait to see what the gang gets up to in 2017!
