LOS ANGELES, Dec. 9 (UPI) — Megan Mullally says there’s a “good chance” that “Will & Grace” will return to television.
The 58-year-old actress, who payed Karen Walker on the NBC sitcom, hinted at a 10-episode reunion while discussing the possibility of a revival with PrideSource.
“All I can say is that there is a very good chance that that might happen,” Mullally revealed. “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.
“[I] can’t really talk about it or say anything, because you know how it is,” she said. “So speaking theoretically, in a completely made-up world where ‘Will & Grace’ is coming back to NBC for 10 episodes — just in that made-up world — it couldn’t be [happening at] a better time.”
“Will & Grace” co-starred Eric McCormack, Debra Messing and Sean Hayes, and had an eight-season run from 1998 to 2006. Messing told People in October that fan demand for a revival has been “very overwhelming” and “really, really heartwarming.”
“If there was a ‘Will & Grace’ 2.0, my wish is that we did 10 [episodes] on, like, Netflix or Amazon or somewhere where it could be the naughty version of ‘Will & Grace,'” the actress, who portrayed Grace Adler, said.
“We were on network television and there were certain lines of common storytelling that we were limited to, so it would be fun to kind of go into that world where nothing is held back,” she added.
Mullally is also known for “Childrens Hospital,” “Party Down” and “Parks and Recreation.” She will next appear in the comedy “Why Him?” with James Franco and Bryan Cranston.
