‘Will & Grace’ reunion special in the works?
By Nick Levine
A Will & Grace reunion is rumoured to be in the works.
The hit US sitcom about a gay man, Will, and his straight female best friend, Grace, originally ran for 184 episodes between 1998 and 2006 on US network NBC. In the UK, Will & Grace aired on Channel 4 throughout its eight-season run.
Now The WOW Report, a popular blog affiliated with the TV production company behind RuPaul’s Drag Race, is reporting that a reunion special is being planned.
The four main cast members – Eric McCormack (Will), Debra Messing (Grace), Sean Hayes (Jack) and Megan Mullally (Karen) – are all said to be “on board”.
The original producers and director James L Burrows are reportedly returning for the reunion too.
Will & Grace was created by David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, who went on to create another sitcom for US network CBS, Partners, that was cancelled after 13 episodes in 2012.
A Will & Grace spin-off entitled Jack & Karen was at one point in development – as was a Broadway show called Karen: The Musical.
