## Synopsis

Will & Grace (2017-2020) is an American multi-camera sitcom revival created by David Kohan and Max Mutchnick for NBC. Eric McCormack plays Will Truman, a gay Manhattan lawyer whose closest friend is Grace Adler, a interior designer played by Debra Messing. Sean Hayes returns as the flamboyant Jack McFarland and Megan Mullally as the outrageously blunt Karen Walker, and the four reunite a decade after the original eight-season run. The engine of each episode is simple: a romantic misadventure, a professional scheme, or a meddling plan that spirals as the friends bicker, scheme, and rescue one another. Each week unfolds in a single set of apartments, offices, and bars around New York City, built on sharp punchlines and rapid-fire exchanges. The show is a three-season comedy with eighteen-episode seasons, structured as episodic stories with running personal threads. Its tone is breezy, camp-tinged, and warmly nostalgic, with a joyful sense of found family. Fans of Friends, Sex and the City, and the original Will & Grace will find resonance in its ensemble chemistry and witty, self-aware humor.
