The publication reports that the idea is to bring back the show as a 10-episode limited series.  So far, there are no deals in place with the show’s four stars: Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes.

Insiders tell The Hollywood Reporter that it’s “extremely early” in the process and it’s not clear if the project will actually get underway.

Will & Grace ran for eight seasons and won 16 Emmys, including trophies for all four main stars.  It was also one of the most successful series to feature gay main characters.

The election-themed video featured Will and Grace in the present day, trying to convince Jack to vote for Hillary Clinton, while Karen, a close personal friend of Donald Trump’s, tries to sway him the other way. Finally, Will talks Jack into going Democratic by pointing out that Katy Perry is a Clinton supporter.
