‘Will & Grace’ reboot to end with upcoming season
TV Line reports: Will & Grace is saying goodbye. Again. NBC’s revival of the hit sitcom — which returned in Sept. 2017 after originally wrapping up in May 2006 — will conclude with its upcoming 11th season.
“We think of the Will & Grace [revival] episodes the way Karen Walker thinks of martinis — 51 is not enough, 53 is too many,” executive producers Max Mutchnick, David Kohan and James Burrows said in a statement. That is why, after consulting with the cast, we all have decided this will be the final season of Will & Grace.”
Will & Grace this past TV season averaged 3 million total weekly viewers and a 0.74 demo rating, down 45 and 50 percent from its first revival season on NBC. Among NBC;’s seven sitcoms, it ranked third in the demo and second in total audience (trailing only Superstore).
Sean Hayes writes on FB: For all Will & Grace fans, I am sharing the news that this is going to be our last and final season (which premieres this winter). To everyone who watched the first run and to everyone that encouraged this reboot, we did it all for you.
What a blast it’s been reliving these characters for these three seasons. Thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to entertain you. I am forever grateful.
We’ll see you in 10 years for the third installment!
Love to you all.
Sean

Debra Messing writes on Instagram: to the best fans IN THE WORLD, W&G fans, we wanted to tell you that this will be the last season of the Reboot. 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. It was only supposed to be 10 episodes, but because of you, the fans, it has turned into 3 YEARS. What a miracle. We are all committed to making this season the best ever, and to wrap up the story of Will, Grace, Jack and Karen in a way that feels meaningful and right. THANK YOU @nbc and @bobgreenblattpics for bringing us all back together. We have been spoiled,once again, by brilliant writers and producers, and the best crew in town. I love you all.

Stopped watching during the second season.. one show that should have stayed dead.. so no loss to me.. I always thought the actor who played will was never comfortable playing gay
Sammie says:
Addicted to the original W&G because there was nothing like it. The writing and cast was stellar back then but I and the community at large had moved on after its conclusion. Thereafter, daytime soap and primetime gay characters and storylines were bolder, more realistic, and relatable. The reboot, recycled W&G cast felt so yesterday. RIP.
