Will and Grace star Leslie Jordan, who played Beverly Leslie on the show, just confirmed the return of Will and Grace.

Speaking to radio station KPBS, Jordan said that the television network NBC has ordered ten new episodes to begin filming in July next year.

The news comes after Megan Mullally, who plays Karen Walker, said there was a ‘very real chance’ the hit show would return to our screens earlier this month.

However since these claims were made, Debra Messing has revealed some bad news.

While doing the press rounds for new movie ‘Why Him?’ the former Karen Walker actress claimed there was “a very real chance” the show could return with new episodes.

Mullally said: “So speaking theoretically, in a completely made-up world where Will & Grace is coming back to NBC for ten episodes – just in that made-up world – it couldn’t be a better time.

“Well, OK. All I can say is that there is a very good chance that that might happen,” the two-time Emmy winner added.

“It’s not happening right this second. I mean, we’re not rehearsing or anything like that.

“But there is a very good chance that something is going to materialize.”

The exact plans for the reunion won’t be known for sometime, though, as she’s keeping tight lipped about the show’s potential.

“But I can’t really talk about it or say anything, because you know how it is,” Mullally added.

The show’s long-anticipated revival was originally commissioned for just 10 episodes, but in a show of confidence NBC has extended the order to 12.
