It's 11 years since Will & Grace wrapped.

And stars Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes barely look a day older as NBC releases posters to promote the hit sitcom's return in the fall, according to the Daily Mail.

The first picture showed the four sitting on director's chairs with their characters' names on and their backs to the camera.

In the new promo, the four are turned around in director's chairs with their characters' names on the back and are smiling with Megan, who played Karen, enjoying a cocktail. 

"Did somebody say encore?" the tagline read   

The 12-episode series is expected to pick up the characters’ stories a decade after the 2006 finale.

Mullally, 58, took to Twitter to share the news herself as she posted the pic of the four stars sitting in director's chairs with their characters' names on the backs. 

She captioned the snap: "Here we go again honey," referring to her trademark quip.

The revival was announced back in January as a 10-episode limited engagement. Two more episode were added for production recently. 

Mullally, McCormack, 54, Messing, 48, and Hayes, 46 worked on Will & Grace for eight seasons from 1998 until 2006. 

During its original run, Will & Grace was one of the most successful television series with gay principal characters. 

The show focused on the relationship between Will Truman, a gay lawyer, and his best friend Grace Adler, an interior designer. It also featured their friends Karen Walker, an alcoholic socialite, and Jack McFarland, a flamboyantly gay actor.

The sitcom was nominated for 83 Primetime Emmy Awards, winning 16 of them.

Will & Grace creators/executive producers Max Mutchnick and David Kohan will oversee the new episodes, along with director/executive producer James Burrows.
