Will & Grace is an American sitcom created by Max Mutchnick and David Kohan about the relationship between best friends Will Truman (Eric McCormack), a gay lawyer, and Grace Adler (Debra Messing), a straight interior designer. It was broadcast on NBC from September 21, 1998 to May 18, 2006, for a total of eight seasons. During its original run, Will & Grace was one of the most successful television series with gay principal characters. It was revived by NBC in 2017 for a ninth and tenth season.
Despite initial criticism for its particular portrayal of homosexual characters, it has been met with continued critical acclaim and won several major awards, including 18 Primetime Emmy Awards and seven Screen Actors Guild Awards. Additionally, the show received 30 Golden Globe Award nominations (but no wins).
