The gang's back and they have a simple message in the new first-look at Will & Grace's comeback season: "Everything's as if we never said goodbye."
The epic five-and-a-half minute trailer, launched by network NBC during this week's "upfronts", plays like its own mini episode, with star Eric McCormack (Will) attempting to convince a reluctant Debra Messing (Grace) the reboot is a good idea, despite her cold feet and Twitter priorities.

Will & Grace's musical revival
The original cast of Will & Grace are reunited in an epic 5-minute trailer for NBC's reboot of the award-winning sitcom.
The clincher is a backstage visit to the sitcom's iconic set, where castmates Sean Hayes (Jack) and Megan Mullally (Karen) are already positioned in character, martinis in-hand, leading to a Broadway-esque musical number.
"We'll have must-see primetime madness, This Is Us should be our lead-in," they sing, a sly in-joke at NBC's loaded fall ratings schedule.
"Well, that was gay," says McCormack, as the singalong ends and confetti pops.
The series, returning for a 12-episode revival, originally wrapped in 2007 – its finale aired locally on Channel Seven – following eight seasons that netted 16 Emmys and a handful of GLAAD Awards for its groundbreaking focus on openly gay characters.
The cast reunited for a 10-minute special last September, urging Americans to vote in the US election, testing the waters for a full-scale reboot which was confirmed this January.
Alongside the cast, the new series also brings back the show's creative team, including writers and creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan and veteran director James Burrows, who helmed every episode of the show's original run.
The series will premiere in the States around September, with a local broadcaster yet to be confirmed.
