‘Will & Grace’ Might Actually Be Coming Back For Real This Time
Time to start harassing Netflix.
First they were coming back, then they weren’t, then they did but only in the form of a ten minute internet special. But today, the will they/won’t they drama of the Will & Grace revival took another turn, with Deadline reporting that talks are underway to revive the series for realsies.
The Cast Of ‘Will & Grace’ Have Reunited For An Amazing Mini Episode Savaging Donald Trump
According to Deadline, “conversations have been ongoing about a new season of the Emmy-winning comedy”. The idea would be to do “a one-off 10-episode installment” on either NBC or Netflix, with the latter network considered more likely.
The report suggests that the surprise success of last month’s Trump-themed mini-episode sparked renewed interest in the series, but stresses that “there are no deals in place” and that “there are a lot of hurdles that make mounting a Will & Grace return a daunting task.”
Deadline also points out that “an enthusiastic fan reaction to the news of a Gilmore Girls follow-up on Netflix helped close contacts with the series’ stars,” and suggests that “maybe a similar response will help get deals done for a new Will & Grace.”
In other words, if we all start harassing Netflix on Twitter, we might actually be able to make this happen. Go now.
