Eric McCormack and Debra Messing: New Roles on Screen and Stage
The on-screen couple of Will and Grace have taken on vastly different projects in the current entertainment landscape, with McCormack stepping into the world of mystery and Messing returning to her roots on the stage.
Eric McCormack: From Sitcom Star to Murder Mystery Lead
Eric McCormack, known for his Emmy-nominated role as Will Truman, has dramatically shifted gears in his acting career. His most talked-about current project is the thrilling new series, Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, airing on MGM+. McCormack stars in the murder mystery, a stark contrast to the lighthearted comedy of his past work. The show’s premise, which involves a diverse group of strangers stranded at a resort with a growing body count, has allowed him to explore a darker, more suspenseful side of his acting repertoire.
The actor has been actively promoting the series in 2025, discussing the challenges of filming a thriller and reflecting on the legacy of Will & Grace in recent interviews. His work on this new show, along with his previous dramatic roles in series like Perception and The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh, solidifies his versatility beyond the role of the beloved gay lawyer.
Debra Messing: Hosting and Broadway Buzz
Debra Messing, who played the neurotic but lovable interior designer Grace Adler, is making a major return to the New York theatre scene. In a high-profile move for 2025, Messing is set to co-host the prestigious Drama Desk Awards alongside Tituss Burgess, honoring the best in Broadway, Off-Broadway, and Off-Off-Broadway productions. This hosting gig highlights her status as a respected figure in the theatrical community, stemming from her classical training and numerous stage appearances.
In addition to hosting, Messing has been attached to several compelling new stage projects, including the New York premiere of Noah Haidle's play Birthday Candles and the MCC Theater production of Robert O’Hara’s new play, Shit. Meet. Fan. These roles continue her trend of balancing comedic and dramatic work, a pattern seen in her previous major television roles outside of Will & Grace, such as the musical drama Smash and the crime series The Mysteries of Laura, as well as the miniseries The Starter Wife.
Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally: Podcasts, Musicals, and a New Phone Company
Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally, whose characters Jack and Karen provided some of the show's most memorable physical comedy and one-liners, are currently dominating the world of podcasts, live performance, and even business ventures.
Sean Hayes: The SmartLess Empire and New Ventures
Sean Hayes, the Emmy-winning star who portrayed Jack McFarland, has successfully transitioned into a major media personality and producer. His flagship project, the wildly popular SmartLess podcast, which he co-hosts with Hollywood heavyweights Jason Bateman and Will Arnett, continues to be a top-charting success. The trio has not only toured with their live show, documented in the series SmartLess: On the Road, but has also branched out into an unexpected business venture in 2025: a new phone company. This surprising move demonstrates Hayes's entrepreneurial spirit and the power of his celebrity collective.
Hayes’s work as a producer, through his company Hazy Mills Productions, also keeps him busy behind the scenes, ensuring his influence on television comedy remains strong. Despite their busy schedules, Hayes and Mullally remain close friends, often reuniting for social media posts that delight fans and remind them of the enduring Jack and Karen chemistry.
Megan Mullally: Global Storyteller and New Stage Work
Megan Mullally, whose portrayal of the wealthy, martini-swilling Karen Walker earned her two Emmy Awards, is currently focusing on her work with her husband, actor Nick Offerman. The couple is set to appear together in May 2025 as part of the Vivid Sydney’s Global Storyteller series in Australia, offering an unscripted and unfiltered look into their lives and careers. Mullally and Offerman's appearances are highly anticipated, showcasing their unique comedic dynamic that has been honed through years of collaboration.
In addition to their joint ventures, Mullally is also returning to her theater roots, with a new musical titled Iceboy! Or The Completely Untrue Story of How Eugene O’. Mullally’s ability to move between stage, screen, and voice acting (including her recurring role as Gayle in Bob's Burgers and appearances in Parks and Recreation and The Righteous Gemstones) highlights her status as a versatile comedy icon.
The Legacy and Topical Authority of Will & Grace
The show's impact extends far beyond the main cast, creating a cultural touchstone that pioneered LGBTQ+ representation in mainstream media. Its success was further cemented by a rotating cast of high-profile guest stars, a testament to its influence and appeal. The show's popularity remains high, with its syndication and streaming presence constantly introducing new audiences to the four friends.
The list of famous faces who appeared on the show is a who's who of Hollywood and pop culture royalty, including:
- Pop Icons: Cher, Madonna, Britney Spears
- Hollywood Legends: Sharon Stone, Glenn Close (as Fannie Lieber), Geena Davis
- Comedic Stars: Ellen DeGeneres, Demi Lovato
