'Will & Grace' Returning For New Season On NBC, Says Leslie Jordan

"Will & Grace" is returning in 2017 as confirmed by one of the beloved sitcom's cast member Leslie Jordan. The actor revealed the news when he recently visited a radio station for an interview.

During Jordan's guesting on KPBS, he mentioned that the 90's show is coming back for 10 episodes. He said that the revival of the comedy show is a done deal already.

"It's back. Here's the way it works: NBC has ordered 10 episodes," Jordan told KPBS during radio interview. "It'll be for next season, so they'll go in July."

The host suggested that "Will & Grace" will ‘perhaps' return but the 61-year-old comedian cut him off and said, "not perhaps, it's absolutely." With his words, then fans of the show can really expect it this year.

There were reports that NBC has been considering the comeback of "Will & Grace" since October of last year. The idea surfaced after four of the sitcom's main stars have gathered and reprised their characters for an election-themed promo video which instantly went viral.

The get together happened after ten years so it was a meaningful gathering for the original cast members of "Will & Grace." It was Eric McCormack, Megan Mullally, Debra Messing and Sean Hayes who starred in the viral clip.

Mullally also affirmed that their award-winning program has a good chance of being revived today. She sat down with PrideSource for a brief chat and she was asked about the show's return.

"All I can say is that there is a very good chance that that might happen," she said. "It's not happening right this second. I mean, we're not rehearsing or anything like that."

Then again, despite the confirmation from the cast, TV Guide reported that NBC refused to comment on the return of "Will & Grace." This means that the network has yet to issue an official announcement about the show's revival.
