Will & Grace season 11
season of television series
The eleventh and final season of the American comedy series Will & Grace premiered on October 24, 2019, and consisted of 18 episodes, ending on April 23, 2020. The season was initially going to premiere midseason, but was moved up after the cancellation of Sunnyside.
Production
In March 2018, NBC ordered five more episodes for Will & Grace's revival's second season, bringing the total to 18 episodes, and it was also renewed for an 18-episode third season. On July 25, 2019, it was announced that the eleventh season will be the final season of the series after mutual agreement between the show's cast and creators.
It was reported on October 24, 2019, that Megan Mullally would be absent from two episodes of this season amidst rumors of alleged on-set tension between her and co-stars Debra Messing and Sean Hayes. Mullally was absent from the seventh episode, "What a Dump," and the tenth episode, "Of Mouse and Men." After missing the two episodes, Mullally returned to complete the series. Mullally alluded to being "bullied" by Messing on set during an episode of her podcast co-hosted by her husband Nick Offerman.
Show creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick said the season would tackle a number of issues such as the MeToo movement and address ignorance towards bisexuality, as well as a finale that focused on a less heteronormative ending.
The cast of the series were reported to have made a significant increase in salary per episode for the final season with the lead actors being paid $470,000 per episode for the reboot series, an increase from the previous series where the lead actors were being paid $150,000 per episode. NBC was said to be paying $3.5 million per episode for the show.
