Call Karen and Jack! Former costars Debra Messing and Eric McCormack are planning a Will & Grace reunion.
The two actors will appear on television together for the first time since Will & Grace aired its series finale in May 2006. McCormack, 51, is set to appear in an upcoming episode of the NBC dramedy The Mysteries of Laura, which is led by Messing.
The Smash actress, 46, stars as Detective Laura Diamond in the new series. Her character is a homicide detective with the NYPD who faces additional challenges in her personal life as her ex-husband (Josh Lucas) is now her boss in the force, and she must balance work with raising their twin boys.
McCormack will make his debut in The Mysteries of Laura as Dr. Andrew Devlin, Deadline reports. His heart surgeon character is suspected of homicide after his ex-wife dies. To make things more complicated, Detective Diamond and Dr. Devlin were once engaged.
McCormack and Messing starred opposite one another for eight years on Will & Grace. Joined by Megan Mullally as Karen Walker and Sean Hayes as Jack McFarland, the two stars played Will Truman and Grace Adler, respectively.
Messing’s Grace was a lovable interior decorator with a less-than-successful dating life, who lived with her best friend, McCormack’s gay lawyer character Will.
During their hit run on the show, both Messing and McCormack took home Emmy awards. The former won Best Actress in a Comedy in 2003, while the latter nabbed Best Actor in a Comedy in 2001.
“YES ITS TRUE!!!!!” Messing tweeted on Monday, Jan. 12. “‘Will & Grace’ are BACK TOGETHER!! YEEHAWWWW!”
