As the 10th season kicks off on NBC, fans don’t have to worry whether the Will & Grace TV show will be cancelled or renewed for season 11. The Peacock network already picked up the 11th installment back in March of 2018. It’s no surprise. Last year, the series revival was their second-highest rated scripted series in the demo, bested only by the Nielsen unicorn that is This Is Us. Can the fearsome foursome match or even beat the expectations they set in their first season back on the airwaves, or has the novelty worn off? Will Will & Grace be cancelled or renewed beyond season 11? Stay tuned.
An NBC sitcom, Will & Grace stars Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally, and Sean Hayes. In season 10, guest stars include Matt Bomer, Minnie Driver, Adam Rippon, David Schwimmer, Alec Baldwin, Chelsea Handler, Jon Cryer, and Mary McCormack. The comedy centers on a group of best friends — gay lawyer Will Truman (McCormack); interior designer Grace Adler (Messing); socialite Karen Walker (Mullally); and self-absorbed Jack McFarland (Hayes).
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Will & Grace TV series? Are you glad that it’s been renewed for season 11 already? Do you think NBC could cancel it anyway if the ratings aren’t good enough?
I don’t want Will and Grace to end. This sucks!
I loved this show in it’s hayday. Now it’s far too political. Pushing liberal agendas, just like 95% of TV these days. Can’t we just put politics aside and entertain, the way it used to be? If I want to watch politics, I’ll just turn on fake news.
This once great show as been avg. this yr. Although funny at times, way too much gayness and not half gay and half straight as previous yrs.
I love this show, always have. Please keep em’ coming. All of them make the show what it is WONDERFUL!
I think this reboot is great and is so funny. I really hope it continues to get renewed. There aren’t many comedies that make me laugh hard and this one does.
These people are trash, they want to hurt our great country. sick sick sick So happy they are canceled. The belong in a church and to pray to remove the devil from their sick bodies.
