“No one in the world would believe you’re straight,” Karen Walker famously said on Will & Grace. “You’re as gay as a clutchpurse on Tony night. You fell outta the gay tree, hitting every gay branch on the way down. And ya landed on a gay guy… and ya did ’em. No, no, honey, your gayness can be seen from space.”
And just imagine what more she’ll say when actress Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes join Debra Messing and Eric McCormack on the return of Will & Grace to NBC. The stars have been posting behind-the-scenes photos to social media, as NewNowNext reported.

The original show ran for 8 years, from 1998 to 2006. What’s changed in 11 years? This is where the writers put that into motion, as shown in one of the executive producer’s tweets:

And from the photos posted on Twitter and Instagram, it appears the gang is very excited to be together.

And apparently someone has to show Debra Messing how to take a selfie without reversing the image:
Will & Grace returns to NBC this fall, date to be announced. We’ll keep you posted. And until then, remember what Grace told Will, with her elbow: “My love for you is like this scar, ugly, but permanent.”
