According to Deadline Hollywood,
a new season remains a daunting task, with “lots of hurdles” to
overcome.
“Producing studio Universal TV needs
to secure stars Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally and
Sean Hayes as well as creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan,”
Deadline
wrote.
Being discussed is a possible
10-episode season on NBC, which aired the series, or Netflix, which
has rebooted several series including Arrested Development,
Full House and Gilmore Girls.
Will & Grace, which
premiered in 1998, was the first prime time network sitcom to feature
a gay lead in McCormack's uptight lawyer, Will.
