The Latest Career Updates: What The Cast Is Doing in 2025

The post-revival careers of the Will & Grace stars are incredibly varied, ranging from prestige television thrillers to major Broadway and Off-Broadway runs. Their latest projects in 2024 and 2025 showcase their desire to tackle roles far removed from their famous sitcom counterparts.

Eric McCormack: From Will Truman to a Mexican Morgue

Eric McCormack, who played the titular Will Truman, is currently diving into the world of mystery and thrillers. His most anticipated upcoming project is the MGM+ limited series, Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, which is set to premiere in 2025.

In this dark and intriguing series, McCormack plays a lead role, a significant departure from his comedic roots. He has also been active in the theater world, participating in the Kean Stage 2024-2025 season. The actor has publicly stated that for him to do another sitcom, the writing would have to be "impeccable," showing his commitment to high-quality projects.

Sean Hayes: A Busy Year on Stage and Screen

Sean Hayes, who perfected the role of the flamboyant Jack McFarland, is arguably the busiest member of the cast in 2025. His career is split between major motion pictures and critically acclaimed stage performances.

For film, Hayes is slated to appear in two major 2025 releases: Paramount’s adaptation of Stephen King’s classic novel, The Running Man, and Searchlight’s new comedy, Is This Thing On. On the stage, he is set to return to New York for the off-Broadway one-person play The Unknown. This follows his highly praised run as Oscar Levant in Doug Wright’s play Good Night, Oscar, demonstrating his dramatic range.

Debra Messing and Megan Mullally: Stage and Global Tours

Debra Messing (Grace Adler) has recently focused on prestige stage and musical projects. She was announced for the initial cast of a world premiere at the MCC Theater in the 2024/2025 season, keeping her connected to the New York theater scene.

Additionally, Messing joined the cast of the Netflix film adaptation of 13: The Musical, a project that highlights her versatility in the musical genre. Her continued work in both film and theater demonstrates a strategic move to diversify her portfolio after the sitcom's second run concluded.

Meanwhile, Megan Mullally (Karen Walker) has been touring the world with her husband, actor Nick Offerman (of Parks and Recreation fame). The couple’s unscripted and unfiltered on-stage chat show has been a major success, with a notable appearance scheduled for Vivid Sydney in 2025. Their joint appearances offer a unique look into their long-standing marriage and comedic dynamic, a favorite entity among pop culture fans.

The Enduring Legacy and Supporting Cast Entities

The impact of Will & Grace extends beyond the core four, thanks to its groundbreaking representation and its record-breaking number of accolades. The show earned a staggering 18 Primetime Emmy Awards and 96 nominations over its run, a testament to its quality and cultural significance.

The Cast’s Record-Breaking Salary

The financial success of the show is another key entity. By the final original season (Season 8), each of the four main actors was earning approximately $600,000 per episode. This cemented their status as some of the highest-paid actors in television. When the revival began in 2017, their salary was reported to be $250,000 per episode, still a substantial figure for a returning series.

Remembering Leslie Jordan and Shelley Morrison

The supporting cast included two of the show's most beloved characters, whose performers have sadly passed away. Shelley Morrison, who played the hilarious maid Rosario Salazar, retired from acting before the revival and passed away on December 1, 2019. Her character’s dynamic with Karen Walker remains one of the show’s most cherished elements.

Leslie Jordan, who played the diminutive and witty Beverley Leslie, became a massive social media star during the pandemic before his untimely death in 2022. His presence on the revival was a highlight for many fans, and his memorable feud with Karen Walker is a cornerstone of the show's comedy.

Where Are Other Key Players Now?

Other familiar faces from the original run continue to work in the industry:

  • Harry Connick Jr. (Leo Markus): The actor and musician, who played Grace’s husband, continues to have a thriving career in music and stage. In 2024 and 2025, he has been involved in musical projects, including a revival of his acclaimed A Celebration of Cole Porter show and various concert tours.
  • Tim Bagley (Larry): Known for his recurring role as one of Will’s gay friends, Larry, Tim Bagley continues to be a ubiquitous character actor in Hollywood. He has since had recurring roles in popular shows like Grace and Frankie and The King of Queens.

The Will & Grace cast members are not just resting on their laurels; they are actively shaping their post-sitcom careers with diverse and challenging projects. Their continued success in 2025, both individually and sometimes together, ensures that the legacy of Will, Grace, Jack, and Karen remains fresh and relevant for a new generation of viewers.
