Bob Greenblatt, Chairman off NBC Entertainment played coy about the possibility of even more Will & Grace earlier in the day, revealing that more episodes would be "the greatest outcome."

"I hope there is more to come and that would be the greatest outcome of this whole thing. We did the first table read yesterday of the first episode," he said prior to the announcement. "Aside from some reading glasses that appeared -- they look exactly the same as they did 10 years ago except there’s some hair coloring … it’s the same show."

Watch a just-released promo below:

ET was with the cast during their first day back in production, where Messing and Mullally cut the red ribbon as a confetti cannon sprayed the cast. Hayes and McCormack sealed the deal with a passionate stage kiss.
