While promoting her new film Why
Him? Megan Mullally said that a new season of Will & Grace
was possible.
News of a possible reboot began
circulating just weeks after the cast reunited for an election year
mini-episode which has been viewed more than 6 million times on
YouTube.

Mullally, who played alcoholic
socialite Karen Walker throughout the sitcom's 8 seasons, told
Michigan's PrideSource that “there is a very good chance
that that might happen.”
“It's not happening right this
second,” Mullally
said. “I mean, we're not rehearsing or anything like that.
But there is a very good chance that something is going to
materialize.”
“But I can't really talk about it or
say anything, because you know how it is,” she added.
Mullally said that the timing “couldn't
possibly be better.”
“I think more so now than even when
we started! And who would have ever – I mean, it's heinous that
it's because Donald Trump is the president-elect. That's just a
crazy sentence that nobody would have ever thought they'd utter. But
having said that, at the same time, that just gives us carte
blanche.”
Will & Grace, which
premiered in 1998, was the first prime time network sitcom to feature
a gay lead in Eric McCormack's uptight lawyer, Will.
