NBC has yet to officially announce it’s moving forward with a "Will & Grace" revival, but Karen Walker’s beloved frenemy may have just let the cat out of the bag.

In a recent interview with radio station KPBS, Leslie Jordan — who won an Emmy for his role as Beverly Leslie — came forth and insisted that NBC has already commissioned a 10-episode follow-up to begin shooting next summer.

“It’s back,” Jordan said. “Here’s the way it works: NBC has ordered 10 [episodes]. It’ll be for next season, so they’ll go in in July.”

"Will & Grace" star Debra Messing says that the show is unrevived...for now.

Frequent "Will & Grace" guest star Leslie Jordan said in a recent interview that a revival of the classic sitcom is definitely happening. He even gave specific details, like it will be 10 episodes and will go into production in July for a fall premiere on NBC.



Not so fast, says Debra Messing.

"Sadly Leslie was wrong. Nothing beyond talks." Messing tweeted in response to a fan asking if Jordan's report was true.

"Will & Grace" To Return with New Season on NBC
by Nellie Andreeva
January 18, 2017


The Emmy-winning "Will & Grace" is returning to NBC. After months of complex and difficult negotiations, the network has closed a deal for a new 10-episode limited installment of the hit series, to air during the 2017-18 season.

NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke made the announcement at the top of NBC’s TCA presentation. It was accompanied by a video.







The new, ninth season of "Will & Grace" stems from the surprise election-themed reunion mini-episode released on Sept. 26. Done without NBC’s involvement, it immediately triggered talk of a possible real reunion.

Slowly but surely, producing studio Universal TV was able to secure stars Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes as well as creators/executive producers Max Mutchnick and David Kohan. Veteran director James Burrows, who directed every episode of the show during its initial eight-year run, is on board to direct and executive produce.





“We started talking with Mutchnick and Kohan about producing new episodes right after they shot the secret reunion show back in September, and the fact that all four of the original stars were excited about getting back into production is a testament to the joyful experience they had doing nearly 200 episodes for eight seasons,” said Salke,

“Few things cut through the clutter these days, especially in comedy, and Will and Grace is one of the best.”
