We're back! Will & Grace stars return in new poster ahead of revival series premiere this fall

Will & Grace will be returning this fall to NBC as the first promo poster was released on Friday.

'Back this fall' read the tagline as the new season will reunite original stars Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes.

The 12-episode series is expected to pick up the characters’ stories a decade after the 2006 finale.

Mullaly, 58, took to Twitter to share the news herself as she posted the pic of the four stars sitting in director's chairs with their characters' names on the backs. 

She captioned the snap: 'Here we go again honey', referring to her trademark quip.

The revival was announced back in January as a 10-episode limited engagement. Two more episode were added for production recently. 

Mullally, McCormack, 54, Messing, 48, and Hayes, 46 worked on Will & Grace for eight seasons from 1998 until 2006.

During its original run, Will & Grace was one of the most successful television series with gay principal characters. 

The show focused on the relationship between Will Truman, a gay lawyer, and his best friend Grace Adler, an interior designer. It also featured their friends Karen Walker, an alcoholic socialite, and Jack McFarland, a flamboyantly gay actor.

The sitcom was nominated for 83 Primetime Emmy Awards, winning 16 of them.

The four stars recently reunited to film a scene urging fans to vote in last year’s presidential election. The nine-minute clip went viral hours after its September 26 release, just ahead of the first 2016 presidential debate.

Will & Grace creators/executive producers Max Mutchnick and David Kohan will oversee the new episodes, along with director/executive producer James Burrows.
