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).

And there he is! The most exciting show-merging since The Jetsons met The Flintstones, Ross David Schwimmer has made his first appearance. 

Noah (Schwimmer) is far from the soppy paleontologist we all loved for years. Grumpy and harsh to Grace, shouting at everyone he passes.

He's back...

Ladies and gentleman, the Queen has arrived. Karen Walker.

Karen: "I saw a woman coming out of some kind of hole in the ground."

Will: "Yup, a subway, continue."

If you're not in the US and wondering why there's no Will and Grace on right now, series 10 won't reach the UK for a few months. It will be aired on Channel 5, most likely in early 2019.

Apart from constantly talking about Twitter and the addition of Ross David Schwimmer, the show feels just like it always has. Fast quips, silly gags and general fabulous-ness, this season premiere is living up to expectations.

Jack mashing his face into a banana on a table after applying a whole tube of anti-aging cream might be the TV highlight of the year.

For those of you wondering, a 'curmudgeon' is a grumpy, ill-tempered person, usually a man.

In case you missed the last series, this is Jack's fiancé.

"Who cares if we're getting older? We're both filthy rich!" Never change, Karen.
