After Successful Pro-Clinton Reunion Show, Will & Grace Might Get Reboot
By Lindsey Ellefson | 11:47 am, October 28th, 2016
In September, the cast and crew of Will & Grace reunited to make a miniature episode that encouraged viewers to #VoteHoney! The episode was very, very clearly in favor of a Hillary Clinton presidency, which is what most would expect from the groundbreaking show that built so many Americans’ understanding of what it meant to be gay in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Even in the comments section here on Mediaite, some people suggested bringing the cast back together for a season, like Full House and Gilmore Girls recently did. Good news: That looks like it might really be happening!
The Hollywood Reporter says that Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally, and Sean Hayes are in talks to bring back the show for a 10-episode limited revival. (6.2 million views on an election-themed one-off will usually get a reaction like that out of executives, it’s true.)
Here’s one of the biggest tidbits from the Hollywood Reporter article:
It’s unclear if NBC would air the revival or if the network could get outbid for what is sure to be a pricey series by a streaming giant like deep-pocketed Netflix.
