On March 17, 1998, Will & Grace filmed their pilot and 20 years later they are still going strong. So strong that for their anniversary, NBC not only ordered 5 more episodes for next season, they also ordered a third season. That’s right, Eric McCormack, Debra Messing,
Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally got picked up for a third season before the first one even finished airing. Not bad, not bad at all
Which is a smart move because unlike other revivals, they have remained true to the original. Giving the longtime fans something to look forward to every Thursday night. Congrats!
BTW the top photo was taken during season 1 and the bottom one was snapped yesterday, proving they have not aged a day on 20 years.
UPDATE: Megan Mullally shared the post-it the cast got about the good news. To read, then
