May 13 (UPI) — The first official teaser trailer for the upcoming revival of the NBC sitcom “Will & Grace” hints at a musical episode.

A 15-second video shared to the official Will & Grace Twitter account on Friday features behind-the-scenes footage of Eric McCormack, Megan Mullally, Debra Messing and Sean Hayes on set and promised a full trailer on Monday.

“Something special’s coming Monday,” the tweet read. “We’re so excited we can’t even think straight.”

The brief footage merely shows the cast sharing a laugh between takes, but one small detail may hint at a theme for one of the 12 planned episodes.

The clipboard shown in the clip features the words “Will & Grace musical” which may indicate the revival will feature a musical episode.

NBC announced the limited revival in January, which will feature McCormack, Mullally, Messing and Hayes reprising their original roles as well as maintaining director James Burrows who directed every episode in the series’ original eight seasons.

An official poster for the new season, released in May, suggested the series might return in the fall.
