In a teaser trailer, NBC's video said: "It was a television phenomenon. Winning 16 Emmy Awards. And now, do we have an announcement for you. Will, Grace, Karen, Jack, back together again. Coming soon."

President of NBC Entertainment Jennifer Salke said: “We started talking with Mutchnick and Kohan about producing new episodes right after they shot the secret reunion show back in September.

“And the fact that all four of the original stars were excited about getting back into production is a testament to the joyful experience they had doing nearly 200 episodes for eight seasons.

"Few things cut through the clutter these days, especially in comedy, and Will and Grace is one of the best.”
