The Latest Projects: From Thrillers to Broadway and Blockbusters

Since the Will & Grace revival concluded, the actors have taken on roles that showcase their dramatic range and comedic versatility, often choosing projects that are highly anticipated in the entertainment world. The year 2025 is shaping up to be a major year for the cast.

Eric McCormack’s Pivot to Psychological Thrillers

Eric McCormack, who defined the role of the straight-laced gay lawyer Will Truman, has been focusing on more dramatic and suspenseful material. His major 2025 project is the MGM+ series Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, a thrilling ensemble drama where nine strangers must solve a mysterious death after a plane crash in Mexico. McCormack has spoken about the shift, noting that while he loves comedy, he was drawn to the mystery and suspense of this new series. He has also maintained his connection to the stage, a passion he shares with his co-stars, ensuring his career remains a blend of television and theater.

Sean Hayes: A Blockbuster and Stage Star

Sean Hayes, the Emmy-winning star behind the flamboyant Jack McFarland, is arguably having the biggest year on the big screen. He is set to star in two major films in 2025: Paramount’s adaptation of Stephen King’s sci-fi thriller The Running Man and Searchlight’s comedy Is This Thing On. This dual-project news highlights his ability to move effortlessly between genres. Beyond film, Hayes is returning to his theater roots with a new Off-Broadway solo play, The Unknown, starting in early 2026. Fans also know him as a co-host of the incredibly popular podcast SmartLess, alongside Jason Bateman and Will Arnett, which continues to be a massive success and a key part of his current professional identity.

Debra Messing and Megan Mullally: Hosting and Global Storytelling

Debra Messing, the spirited Grace Adler, has been active in both acting and public-facing roles. Her most notable confirmed appearance for 2025 is as the co-host of the Drama Desk Awards in June, a major event honoring excellence in New York theater. Messing is also known for her strong political advocacy and continues to be a prominent voice on social media, often sparking public discussion and remaining a relevant figure in the cultural conversation.

Megan Mullally, whose portrayal of the boozy, high-society assistant Karen Walker is legendary, is focusing on collaborative projects with her husband, actor Nick Offerman (known for Parks and Recreation). The celebrated Hollywood couple is scheduled to appear at Vivid Sydney 2025 as part of the Global Storyteller series, where they will discuss their careers and unique partnership. Mullally’s recent work also includes voice acting and supporting roles, but her on-stage appearances with Offerman—including their popular comedy tours—remain a major draw for fans of both their careers.

Honoring The Legacy: Supporting Cast and Topical Entities

The success of Will & Grace was not solely built on the four leads; it was amplified by a brilliant supporting cast that provided essential topical entities and comedic foils. The cast and fans alike have recently had to mourn the loss of two essential members of the Will & Grace family, which is an important part of the show's legacy.

The Enduring Memory of Rosario and Beverley Leslie

The series featured two of the most memorable supporting characters in sitcom history: Karen’s long-suffering maid, Rosario Salazar, played by Shelley Morrison, and Jack’s tiny, wealthy rival, Beverley Leslie, played by Leslie Jordan. Shelley Morrison passed away in 2019, and Leslie Jordan tragically passed away in 2022. Both actors were celebrated for their unique contributions to the show’s humor and heart, and their absence is a constant point of reflection for the main cast and the show’s dedicated fanbase.

Leslie Jordan, in particular, saw a massive surge in popularity later in life, becoming a social media sensation during the pandemic. His role as Beverley Leslie earned him an Emmy and remains a crucial part of the show’s topical authority, often mentioned in discussions about the most iconic recurring sitcom characters. The main cast frequently shares tributes and memories, ensuring their contributions to the Will & Grace universe are never forgotten.

The Will & Grace Reboot and Future Possibilities

The Will & Grace reboot, which ran from 2017 to 2020, proved the enduring chemistry of the four leads and their characters' relevance two decades later. While there are currently no plans for a second revival, the cast members often speak fondly of their time together, leaving the door open for future reunion specials or projects. The actors' strong personal friendships and collaborative history—like Sean Hayes and Eric McCormack’s joint interview appearances—suggest that a return to the Will & Grace world, even in a limited capacity, is always a possibility that keeps fans hopeful and the show's legacy current.
