Will and Grace 2018: Sharp, silly season premiere introduces new love interest David Schwimmer

Hit revival of the classic sitcom returns to screens with a star-studded cast

Will and Grace revival: Watch the original cast's musical return

Will and Grace is back for a new series following the huge success of the 2017 revival series.

The first episode of course saw the return of the fabulous four, but also introduced Noah (David Schwimmer), a curmudgeonly Twitter troll that clearly has a spark with Grace (Debra Messing).

Meanwhile Karen (Megan Mullally) tried to persuade Will (Eric McCormack) to give her some legal advice, while Jack (Sean Hayes) had a very memorable scene with a banana and some anti-ageing cream.

Catch up on episode one with our liveblog below.

Will and Grace continues on NBC, Thursdays at 9pm ET (2am GMT).

If you're in the US, the first episode of season 10 will start tonight at 9pm ET on NBC. 

For everyone else in the world, you will probably have to wait a little longer. UK viewers will eventually be able to see it on Channel 5, but there's currently no set date for it - probably not until 2019. Many people use online streaming services and virtual private networks (VPNs) to watch American TV abroad.

Of course Debra Messing (Grace) and Eric McCormack (Will) will be back. But just to put all your minds at ease, the real stars of the show - Megan Mullally (Karen) and Sean Hayes (Jack) - will definitely be back for this season.

Here's an interview with the two of them from earlier this year...

Love is in the air this series with Jack (Sean Hayes) engaged to Estefan (Brian Jordan Alvarez).

And it's not just them. Will's mum (Blythe Danner) and Grace's dad (Sydney Pollack) are now married.

There's more - Karen (Megan Mullally) is getting a divorce from Stan after choosing her secret lover, Malcolm (Alec Baldwin).

Need a catch up? The last episode of season 9 ended in a double proposal. Jack got engaged to flight attendant Estefan and Will's mum and Grace's dad got engaged.

Speaking to Deadline earlier this year, co-creator Max Mutchnick said of the new series: "We're trying to open up the series this year. Last year was about coming back and seeing how the audience was going to respond, and they embraced the show, and that was thrilling. Now, we need to move forward."

The first revival series (officially season 9) really did come back with a bang. With attacks on Donald Trump and huge guest stars - like Alec Baldwin - was nominated for two Golden Globe awards.
