Back in September, WILL & GRACE fans were delighted to watch a special election-themed webisode of the long-running NBC sitcom, featuring Megan Mullally, Debra Messing, Sean Hayes and Eric McCormack reprising their characters Will, Grace, Karen and Jack.

Since that time, rumors have been circulating that the fearsome foursome will head back to NBC for an all-new season (or more!) of the series.

In a new interview with PrideSource today, Megan Mullally all but confirmed that the show will indeed return to the airwaves. "All I can say is that there is a very good chance that that might happen," Mullally tells the site. "It's not happening right this second. I mean, we're not rehearsing or anything like that. But there is a very good chance that something is going to materialize."

Created by Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, WILL AND GRACE followed the relationship between best friends Will Truman (Eric McCormack), a gay lawyer, and Grace Adler (Debra Messing), a straight interior designer. It was broadcast on NBC from September 21, 1998 to May 18, 2006, for a total of eight seasons. During its original run, "Will & Grace" was one of the most successful television series with gay principal characters and was the recipient of 16 Primetime Emmy awards over the course of its run.

All four actors have appeared on Broadway in recent years. Megan Mullally recently starred in IT'S ONLY A PLAY, while Hayes took on the role of God in AN ACT OF GOD. In 2012, McCormack appeared in THE BEST MAN and Messing made her Broadway debut in the 2014 romantic comedy OUTSIDE MULLINGAR.
