The latest big names to sign on to the show for guest spots include Jane Lynch of Glee fame and Broadway star Andrew Rannells. There's no word yet on what kind of roles these two will play on the series, but Lynch will have to fit in filming while working on her on series, Hollywood Game Night.
Even after 11 years off the air, Will & Grace continues to land impressive guest stars.
Jane Lynch and Andrew Rannells are both set to guest-star on the forthcoming NBC revival, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Details on their characters are being kept under tight wraps except that they will appear in the same episode, which begins production this week.
Lynch and Rannells join previously announced guest stars including Tony winner Ben Platt, as well as returning faces Harry Connick Jr., Minnie Driver and Bobby Cannavale.
