"Will & Grace" Returns To Big Ratings (9/30/2017)

Powered by the return of Will & Grace, NBC posted its most-watched Premiere Thursday (6.5 million) in nine years.

Will & Grace is back! Supported by a massive promotional push, strong reviews and a bit of nostalgia, the former NBC Must See TV comedy made a seamless return to its old Thursday 9 PM slot as the top entertainment program of the night, drawing a 3.0 adults 18-49 Live+Same Day rating and 10.2 million viewers.

It was the comedy hit NBC has been searching for since The Office ended its run. In fact, the Will & Grace return, which might have been helped by the Thursday Night Football weather delay, was NBC's highest-rated comedy telecast (excluding post-Olympic previews) since the Office series finale in May 2013 (3.0).

And something even more remarkable: Will & Grace's Season 9 premiere last night was up from the comedy's eighth-season opener 12 years ago, on September 29, 2005 (9.81 million). In total viewers, last night's opener outperformed both the Season 7 and Season 8 averages for Will & Grace, which aired at a time when the total number of original scripted series was less than half of what it is today, DVR was in its infancy and SVOD was nonexistent, with Netflix still exclusively in the DVD-by-mail business. Even in the adults 18-49 demographic, Will & Grace's return is down a modest 17% from its last season premiere 12 years ago. That is less than the declines many returning series have been posting vs. last year.

NBC's Will & Grace revival has been already been renewed for another season, well ahead of its Thursday, Sept. 28 premiere.

The big news was announced on Thursday by network chairman Robert Greenblatt at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, just as the cast and creators assembled on stage for the show's panel Q&A.
