Let me tell you a story about a TV show that refused to stay in the past. When the Will & Grace revival was announced, we all knew it was going to be something special. Now, it seems the producers had the same feeling. What began as a ten-minute webisode encouraging Americans to vote in the 2016 election has blossomed into one of the most celebrated TV comebacks of our time—and guess what? It's been renewed for Season 3!
Not only is there a third season on the horizon (or the eleventh, if you're counting the original run), but seasons two and three are getting bigger. Originally set at 13 episodes, NBC has decided to add five more, bringing the total to 18 episodes per season. With the final two episodes of the first season yet to air, this confident renewal for a third season is a clear sign of great things to come. The show's creators and cast clearly have something special cooking, and audiences can't get enough.
Why Will & Grace Was a TV Legend
For those who weren't around the first time around, Will & Grace originally aired from 1998 to 2006, racking up an impressive eight seasons and claiming 16 Emmy Awards. Since its triumphant return, the show has been praised for its sharp wit and its ability to tackle modern issues like politics, relationships, and everything in between. It’s not just nostalgia—it’s a fresh take on a beloved classic that resonates with today's audience.

At a recent PaleyFest in LA, Eric McCormack, who plays the iconic Will Truman, shared his thoughts on the reboot. "There’s certainly pressure to live up to the legacy this time around, but we knew we could be these characters again," he said. "This reboot has been nothing short of a magic carpet ride." And who can argue with that? The chemistry between the cast is as strong as ever, and the writing is sharper than ever.

The Psychic Prediction That Brought Karen Back
Now, here’s where the story gets a little mystical. Megan Mullally, the queen of chaos herself, who plays Karen, shared a story at the PaleyFest panel that sounds almost like a psychic vision. "I emailed Max Mutchnick, one of the creators, and I said, 'Why can’t we just do the show again?'" she revealed. "And he emailed back, 'We can.'" Mullally added, "Neither of us knew it at the time, but I just had this incredibly strong feeling that we would do the show again." Sometimes, life really does imitate art—or maybe it's the other way around.
Guest Stars Galore
The first season of the revival has already welcomed some big names into Will's iconic apartment, including Jennifer Lopez and Jane Lynch. And if that wasn't enough, Alec Baldwin will be reprising his role as Karen's lover before the season wraps up. With a lineup like this, it's no wonder fans are eager for more. The chemistry between the cast and the guest stars is electric, and it's clear that everyone involved is having the time of their lives.
