Will & Grace reboot to end after third and final season

NBC’s Will & Grace reboot will end after a third and final season, the show’s executive producers have announced.

The series originally ran from 1998 to 2006 before being brought back in 2017.

Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally, and Sean Hayes have all reprised their respective roles as Will Truman, Grace Adler, Karen Walker and Jack McFarland​.

“We think of the Will & Grace reboot episodes the way Karen Walker thinks of martinis – 51 is not enough, 53 is too many,” said executive producers Max Mutchnick, David Kohan, and James Burrows in a statement published by Deadline.

“That is why, after consulting with the cast, we all have decided this will be the final season.”

The team called the show’s initial run and the reboot a “once-in-a-lifetime experience” that they got to experience twice.

Will & Grace originally had eight seasons, meaning the reboot’s third season will be the series’s 11th instalment overall.

McCormack said on Twitter the team behind the show was ”taking this one out like we brought it in: with love, laughs, gratitude... and on our own terms. “

Messing addressed the announcement on Instagram, where she wrote: ” The creative team (pictured) got together and we decided it was the right time. We were so lucky to have the opportunity to reunite and do the show AGAIN.”

Mullally wrote on the platform: ”All things must pass, and the Will & Grace television program is no exception. We’ve decided to end the show after this third revival season... I know, it’s very sad! we’ll miss you!”

Hayes tweeted: “To everyone who watched the first run and to everyone that encouraged this reboot, we did it all for you.”

The reboot’s third season is expected to begin in 2020.
