‘Will & Grace’ Revival Teaser Released [WATCH]
NBC dropped a 40-second teaser for the upcoming “Will & Grace” revival on Wednesday, July 4.
The clip opens with Jack (Sean Hayes) smiling towards the camera while sitting on his swivel chair. Karen (Megan Mullally) stands in front of a sign that has her name and laughs. Will (Eric McCormack) and Grace (Debra Messing), meanwhile, goof off and dance to the tune of James Brown’s hit song, “I Got the Feelin’.”

Karen and Jack seem to still be best frenemies as the promo cuts to Karen slapping Jack’s face. Instead of taking offense, the latter smiles at Karen and kiss her on the lips, before both of them take a bow. Will and Grace are then shown together in one frame before all four cast members join each other in front of the “Will & Grace” signage.
According to TV Line, “Will & Grace” Season 9 will kick off on Thursday, Sept. 28 at 9 p.m. EST. Ahead of “Will & Grace,” NBC will release new episodes of America Herrera’s “Superstore” at 8:30 p.m. EST. The revival is expected to have a total of 12 episodes and will pick up 11 years after the finale, which aired on May 2006.
Last month, “Will & Grace” co-creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan shared some details regarding the revival. The co-creators said that they plan to address the time jump from the 2006 finale wherein Will and Grace were revealed to not have spoken to each other for the past 20 years. But Season 9 will kick off only 11 years after the events in the finale.
Mutchnick told E! News, “I will tell you that almost more than anything, more time went into figuring out how we are going to reintroduce the show and what were the rules going to be and how were we going to address that finale… And we can tell you this much: They are very much living in that apartment in 2017 in the month of September, on the 28th of September at 9:00. That’s when you’re going to meet up with them again and they are going to explain to you exactly what happened.”
