AceShowbiz - "Will & Grace" revival is officially coming. Leslie Jordan who played the role of Beverly on the original show confirmed that NBC ordered 10 new episodes. "It's back," she told KPBS. "Here's the way it works: [NBC] has ordered 10 [episodes]. It'll be for next season, so they'll go in in July."
The sitcom hopes to bring back the original stars like Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes. Will they pay tribute to co-star Debbie Reynolds? Messing recently remembered the late actress on Twitter, "So heartsick. Debbie went to be with Carrie. It's such a devastating 1, 2 punch. She was my 'mom' for years & I loved her dearly. A legend."
The "Will & Grace" revival comes a month after the cast reunited in a mini episode on YouTube. "The response has been very overwhelming and really, really heartwarming," Messing told PEOPLE back then. When asked about a possible full-pledged TV reunion, McCormack responded, "We'd all be interested to get that call, I think."
