Will & Grace has been handed a second series before the first one has even aired.
The stars of the show returned to filming the sitcom earlier this week eleven years after the original ended.

NBC announced the second series, which'll contain 13 episodes, at the Television Critics Association press tour. Bosses at the network also revealed the current series had been upped from a planned 12 episodes to 16.
The new series is expected to air in the US on September 28th, but it's yet to be confirmed when that series will hit Irish TV screens.
The sitcom starring Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes originally ran from 1998 to 2006.
