The 11th season of “Will & Grace” will be its last. NBC announced that the beloved and groundbreaking sitcom will come to an end following the upcoming season, which will begin in 2020. 

“We think of the ‘Will & Grace’ reboot episodes the way Karen Walker thinks of martinis–51 is not enough, 53 is too many. That is why, after consulting with the cast, we all have decided this will be the final season of ‘Will & Grace,’” executive producers Max Mutchnick, David Kohan and James Burrows said in a joint statement.

Debra Messing addressed viewers directly on Instagram.

“To the best fans IN THE WORLD, W&G fans, we wanted to tell you that this will be the last season of the Reboot. The creative team got together and we decided it was the right time. We were so lucky to have the opportunity to reunite and do the show AGAIN. It was only supposed to be 10 episodes, but because of you, the fans, it has turned into 3 YEARS. What a miracle. We are all committed to making this season the best ever, and to wrap up the story of Will, Grace, Jack and Karen in a way that feels meaningful and right. THANK YOU @nbc and @bobgreenblattpics for bringing us all back together. We have been spoiled,once again, by brilliant writers and producers, and the best crew in town. I love you all.”

Although she will be saying goodbye to Grace Adler, Messing has a few upcoming projects: the Jon Stewart-directed comedy “Irresistible” with Steve Carell and Rose Byrne, and “The Dark Divide,” an adventure drama with David Cross. Both are slated for release in 2020.
