According to The Hollywood Reporter, no deals have been made with Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Sean Hayes, and Megan Mullally or creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick. NBC is hoping for a 10-episode limited series, but the peacock network could be outbid for the Universal Television property by other network studios or by the likes of reboot-happy Netflix.
Though things are still very much in the early stages, the stars have frequently expressed their willingness to bring the old gang back together again. In an earlier interview with THR following their election special, McCormarck said that he's "sure" everyone would be "open to talking about" a revival. Messing, expressing doubt that they could ever return to network TV, added that streaming platforms could give them a "fun, fresh opportunity" to "be really, really naughty!"
With all the bile that this election has unloaded on this country, and the world, if we can get a reboot of one of the funniest TV shows ever, it might have all been worth it.
