In separate appearances, Eric McCormack and Megan Mullally talked about the possibility of a new season for Will & Grace.
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.

Appearing Thursday on NBC's The Today Show, Mullally, who played alcoholic socialite Karen Walker throughout the sitcom's 8 seasons, would only say there's “nothing official,” then added: “Come on NBC! Get it together!”
“We had such a good time doing it,” Mullally said of the mini-episode. “And ever since then there's been a lot of rumors about coming back. We all really love each other … So, if we could do it, it would be fun.”
During an appearance on Late Night, McCormack said “there's a chance” of a reunion.
“It's in talks. When it came up, you know, we thought, 'Well that would be so much fun to do it.' But, I mean, once Hillary is elected what are we going to talk about?” he rhetorically asked with a shrug.
Will & Grace, which premiered in 1998, was the first prime time network sitcom to feature a gay lead in McCormack's uptight lawyer, Will.
