We’re guessing Karen Walker is going to be anything but speechless when she catches wind of the latest "Will & Grace" casting news.

TVLine has learned exclusively that Minnie Driver — who made six appearances as Karen’s acid-tongued nemesis-turned-stepdaughter Lorraine Finster during the NBC sitcom’s original eight-season run — will reprise her role in the Peacock net’s forthcoming 16-episode revival.

Driver is slated to guest-star in one episode, production of which begins this week.

Minnie Driver Says "It Felt Like a Dream" to Reunite with "Will & Grace" Cast

Oct. 26, 2017

Minnie Driver, who made six appearances as Karen’s (Megan Mullally) nemesis Lorraine Finster during "Will & Grace's" original run, will be making a guest appearance in next week’s episode.

“The experience was wonderful,” Driver, 47, exclusively tells PEOPLE. “It was like I had left them all in the same place and I came back and found them all in the same place! It was very familiar and amazing. It was the exact same crew — everyone from hair and makeup to wardrobe.

It’s such a family. It was absolutely amazing to be reunited with everyone. It felt like a dream.”

Driver’s character was introduced in Season 5 in 2003 as the mistress of Karen’s then-husband Stanley Walker. Seeking revenge on Lorraine, Karen ended up marrying Lorraine’s father, Lyle.

“I laugh all the time at Megan Mullally,” she says. “She makes me laugh so much. Maybe it’s because of the nature of our relationship on the show, it just makes me die laughing. The original series that I was in, I just remember laughing from the moment I got there until the moment I left. It was so fun! It’s exactly as fun as it looks. The amount of love and laughter on on that show is not fabricated. It’s for realsies.”

She adds, “My friendship with all of them has lasted since I did the show. I’m so grateful for that. They are such good people.”
