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.
