NBC is staging a big Must See TV reunion on "Will & Grace" next season.

In his return to NBC, former "Friends" star David Schwimmer has been tapped for a recurring role on the upcoming second season of the "Will & Grace" revival, the Emmy-winning comedy’s 10th season overall.

He will play Grace’s (Debra Messing) new love interest in what I hear is envisioned as a five-episode arc, though scripts are still being written.

That is very interesting. I think he is a pretty good actor and look forward to seeing something new with him in it.

Will & Grace creators went to high school with David Schwimmer, reveal he'll be the "spine" of Grace's season

Max Mutchnick says he and fellow co-creator David Kohan created Schwimmer's part as a love interest for Grace before he was cast. "I think the first day we started talking about the character, we thought of our high school buddy, David Schwimmer, and thought to ourselves that this would be such a good part for Schwimms — if he wanted to dip his toe into the waters of multi-camera comedy again," says Mutchnick. "So we wrote him an email, then we went to New York for the weekend and laid it out for him. And he got on board. It was beshert — it was meant to be." Mutchnick adds that Schwimmer's surprise appearance created a reaction from the live audience that was so loud and long that they had to have it removed.

David Schwimmer's Will & Grace character is a "totally plausible fortysomething-year-old version of Ross Geller"

The former Friends star began his five-episode stint on the NBC comedy as Grace's potential love interest, Noah, who is a notorious Twitter user called “the West Side Curmudgeon.” "Yes, there are plenty of differences between Noah and Ross," says Laura Bradley. "Ross would probably reject the notion of being any sort of blogger, beyond perhaps starting a Tumblr about dinosaurs. And unlike Ross, whose repressed rage tended to rear its ugly head at inconvenient times—like when a co-worker ate his sandwich—Noah seems more comfortable living in a constant state of low-grade anger, expressing his frustration with people who, for instance, don’t hold the door for other people. Still, looking at Noah, it’s not hard to imagine that he is the man Ross could have become—especially if he and Rachel didn’t make it for the long haul. Is it really that hard to imagine Angry Ross wandering the streets of the Upper West Side, tweeting his every frustration into the void?" ALSO: How Shelley Morrison Will & Grace maid Rosario went from Latino stereotype to complex character.
