The NBC hit is returning to a different world, one where everything is picked apart by social media.

At a time when Hollywood is under intense pressure to avoid stereotypes and to promote diversity from every possible angle, Will & Grace — once seen as the epitome of diversity on television — could actually find itself assailed for being behind the curve.” If the show does offend, co-creator Max Mutchnick hopes its fan base “grandfathers us in to a lot of forgiveness.” PLUS: Why the Will & Grace reboot is necessary.
