Fox isn't the only broadcast network that's bringing back its biggest recent hits.

NBC is reviving its hit sitcom Will & Grace for a 10-episode limited run next season. NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke made the announcement at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour in Pasadena, Calif.

All four of the show's stars—Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally—will return, along with show creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan and director James Burrows, who directed every episode of the sitcom's run.

NBC has been pursuing a revival ever since the stars and creators reunited last fall for a hilarious pitch to get out the vote for Hillary Clinton.
