Will & Grace fans were in for a surprise when Leslie Jordan who played Karen Walker (Megan Mullally)'s socialite love-hate friend, casually mentioned that the show that set a benchmark in the sitcom industry in America is coming back on NBC.
Cut to 2016, 10 years after the show ended winning 19 Emmy's and being the top rated sitcom from 2001-2005, Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Sean Hayes, and Megan Mullally are back on the sets and are taking their fans on a major nostalgia ride.
The stars have posted many photos on their social media accounts of being back on the old set 10 years on. A photo of the four on a couch with the caption we’re baaaaaaack!” sent social media into a frenzy with speculations flying high about the show's comeback.
Back in September 2016, the cast has briefly united for a special election episode that got over 7 million views on YouTube.
NBC has confirmed that the series that cleverly presented everything from social commentary to political issues wrapped in sarcasm and wit 'is coming back where it belongs'.

And as the stars return to their old set, fans are returning to their couch eagerly waiting for the first glimpse of the revival.

The hit comedy that ran between 1998-2006 made Will Truman, Grace Adler, Karen Walker, and Jack MacFarland household names. Will the show be just as witty and slapstick this time around is to be seen but one thing we know is, the world is more than just waiting to welcome Will, Grace, Jack, and Karen back into their living room.
