Season two of Will & Grace is going romantic. 

Deadline reports that David Schwimmer has been tapped to star as Grace Adler’s (Debra Messing) new love interest for next season’s arc. 

The former Friends star has landed a recurring role in the upcoming second season of the Will & Grace revival which will be the comedy series’ 10th season overall. 

Earlier this year, co-creator Max Mutchnick told the outlet that the first season was “about coming back and seeing how the audience was going to respond, and they embraced the show, and that was thrilling.” The second season is about “trying to open up the series” and moving forward, he continued.

This means that season two will bring with it new things, including new love interests and relationship to the still single Grace and her roommate, Will (Eric McCormack). 

Rounding up guests appearances for the upcoming season are Chelsea Handler and the returning Alec Baldwin and Mary McCormack.

Will & Grace returns October 4 on NBC.

Now this is what you call a successful revival!

The return of the acclaimed sitcom Will & Grace could not have gone better it seems as NBC announced that it has been picked up for a third season. The news was confirmed by the network’s chairman Robert Greenblatt at the show’s PaleyFest panel in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The show went off the air in 2006 only to make its comeback over a decade later in September 2017. The first season will come to an end on April 5, enjoys good ratings averaging a 3.1 rating among adults 18-49 and 9.8 million viewers.

“As far as I’m concerned, we can’t get enough of Will & Grace and 23 more episodes is music to my ears,” Greenblatt said. “We’re eternally grateful that Debra [Messing], Eric [McCormack], Sean [Hayes] and Megan [Mullaly] feel the same way and wanted to keep this good thing going. I’m overwhelmed by the euphoric response the new show has received from the press and the audience, and my hat is off to the unrivaled writing team of Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, as well as the brilliant directing of Jimmy Burrows, for consistently delivering one of the best shows on television.”

The second season was ordered before Season 1 even aired due to the hype and anticipation of a revival. Season 2 will feature 18 episodes, up from 16 this year and will premiere in the fall.

During an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’ show on Wednesday, Will & Grace star Sean Hayes revealed he was actually supposed to sit down for an interview weeks ago, but had to reschedule due to health emergency.

“I went to bed at night and all the sudden I felt this excruciating pain in my stomach,” he explained. “I went to the E.R. and thank God I did.” Turns out Hayes’ small intestine had burst open and was “poisoning” his body. “They went in there and they clipped off the bad part and put it back together with like a chip clip, you know?”

The actor, who showed hilarious photo of himself walking around the hospital heavily medicated after the laparoscopic procedure. “They put you on so many drugs, you’re like high out of your mind.”

“Anyway, I was talking to your producer from the hospital. She was so nice and we were going through all the stuff, and she said, ‘Are you sure you can do the show on Monday?’ and I was like, ‘Yeah. Can you do the show on Monday?'” he added. “And then Scotty, my husband, is in the room with me… He goes, ‘You can’t do the Ellen show on Monday. Are you high?’ And I go, ‘Yeah, I’m really high.'”

In an interview with the Today show, Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally, and Sean Hayes opened up about what it was like to reunite after several years, and how the sitcom manages to remain relevant and honest.

The stars of the revival series sat down in the stylish New York City apartment set of Will Truman (McCormack) and Grace Adler (Messing) and reflected at the much-awaited ninth season, ET reports.

“When we came to work, we were like children in a kindergarten class that all got along,” McCormack remembered of the cast’s immediate on-set chemistry. “And that just came back instantly.”

Will and Grace premiered in September 1998 and originally ended in May 2006, the story had jumped to 20 years ahead in which the group had all drifted apart. But for the revival series, the writers are basically throwing that old season finale and starting off on a different note.

The decision to toss out continuity is supported by Mullally, who stars as the hilarious Karen Walker. “I think you’re allowed to throw that one away, because it was the series finale, or so we thought and believed at the time,” Mullally explained. “But that changed, so the rules don’t apply.”

The show will start some years after the finale, after both Will and Grace’s romantic relationships have fallen apart and they are living together once again. But it seems Grace’s return to being Will’s roommate will be something of a new development for the beloved duo. “In the first episode, you learn that it’s a recent thing, moving back in right after my divorce,” Messing said.

The sitcom was the first primetime American series to feature two openly-gay lead characters and it was revolutionary for its positive and candid depiction of gay men and women and their relationships.

For Hayes, who plays the outspoken Jack McFarland, the honesty and positivity in the sitcom’s portrayal of gay characters comes from showing the genuineness of the character’s lives.

“These characters, as well as they are written, are just speaking their truth, and people were just responding to that,” Hayes shared. “[Audiences] had never seen the pairing of all of these four different relationships on television. Whereas for me… I’m around gay people every day, so to me, it wasn’t so newsworthy that there were gay characters on television. I mean, I understand why, but to me, it’s been my normal life. So we’re just sharing that part of our lives with you.”

The new series will include a number of former guest stars, such as Harry Connick Jr., who stars as Grace’s ex-husband, Leo. According to TV Line, Minnie Driver will also be reprising her role as Lorraine Finster, Karen’s nemesis.

The new season of Will & Grace premieres on September 28 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
