30 Facts About the Making of 'Will & Grace'

According to Variety, "NBC has upped the Season 2 order to 18 episodes, up from 13," as well as ordering an 18-episode third season. The network's commitment to the show is unsurprising, considering how successful the return of Will & Grace has been so far.

The classic show originally ran from 1998 to 2006. It was rebooted in 2017 off of the back of a ten-minute Will & Grace special about the 2016 election, which reunited the core four cast members. And since its return, the series has "averaged a solid 9.8 million viewers" (via Variety), proving that audiences love a TV reunion.

It looks like the Will & Grace reboot is sticking around.
