Just days after speculation began about the possibility of a Will & Grace reunion, actress Debra Messing tweeted a teaser video that appears to confirm such a reunion is headed our way.

The ad sarcastically nods to both the 2016 election and to teasers for superhero movies like The Avengers.
Title cards for the reunion read, “A band of heroes will assemble to protect the world from aliens and destruction. Only an act of GRACE can save them in their battle for what is right. Only they can bring America back from the brink.”
Towards the end, the familiar voices of Jack and Karen can be heard interrupting the apocalyptic music of the teaser. The video also features a snippet of Will & Grace‘s iconic opening credits.
Over the weekend, Messing, Megan Mullally, Eric McCormack and Sean Hayes all shared photos of the cast reunited and apparently back on the Will & Grace set.

And while it seems clear at this point that the cast of Will & Grace will definitely be having a reunion, it’s not at all clear what kind of a reunion that will be. Will it be a full episode special? Or something else entirely?
Mullally can be heard at the end of the teaser making a reference to “Make America Great Again”, potentially indicating that the reunion will be a political sketch advocating for Hillary Clinton. Messing has been an outspoken advocate and defender of Clinton throughout the campaign season.
Messing, Mullally, McCormack and Hayes also shared tweets that seem to suggest they may be doing some sort of play on I Love Lucy. Each actor tweeted an image that included the names of what would likely be their corresponding I Love Lucy alter egos.
