Telly’s Take
The Peacock Network was very excited to revive the Will & Grace sitcom some 11 years after the original run ended. NBC ended up increasing the season nine episode order to 16 installments and gave the go-ahead for a 10th season of 13 episodes. While the early renewal may have been a bit premature, I suspect it makes good financial sense. NBC-Universal owns the show and having two new seasons gets people talking about the show again and adds current episodes to the syndication package. Unless there’s some problem backstage, I’m sure that both seasons nine and 10 will be produced and aired. Could season 10 be expanded? Could there be an 11th season? I’ll be watching the numbers with a hungry eye and will let you know. For now, this sassy sitcom is safe from my clutch.

Rating are terrable and they renew?
Will and grace have a great cast and are funny except they need to GET OFF THE POLITICS!! I don’t like their politics!! Their comments mean they really don’t like me as a viewer! Get off the politics and your show will do fine
I agree whole heartedly. I’ve loved the show from the very first time I saw it back in 90s. The writing is brilliant but leave the political stuff out just shows how inane the actors and the writers are. I don’t want to know what their political views are. I love the show but there is much more unfunny political garbage I’m going to stop watching which would a shame. I can only take so much
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS….America is lucky to have this amazing combination of actors. Just LOVE the reprised show and hope that it’s back for a long time!!!
This show is the best I am so glad they brought it back. The cast is so funny , I look forward to watch this show . I just love it.
