Fans were whipped into a frenzy with the prospect of a Will & Grace reunion after the cast members hinted at a new project on social media, and now it's been revealed that the cast reassembled to film a pro-Hillary Clinton sketch.
The almost 10-minute short shows actors Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes get back together for a very specific goal - to stop Donald Trump becoming the President of the United States.
Will and Grace are up against contrary Karen who is resolutely pro-Trump, and they have to prevent Jack from wasting his vote in the November presidential election.
The Will & Grace cast have been tweeting photos from the reunion over the past few days, teasing the project with a trailer spoofing the Avengers superhero movies.
"A band of heroes WILL assemble to protect the world from aliens AND destruction only an act of GRACE can save them in their battle for what IS right only they can bring America BACK from the brink," the teaser said.
