NBC canceled plans for a Will & Grace spinoff series after the Friends spinoff, Joey, flopped in the ratings.
The network had intended to launch a new show focused on the character of Karen Walker, played by Megan Mullally, after Will & Grace ended its run in 2006.
“I was going to do a spinoff but then they spun off a character from Friends, Joey, that did not go very well,” Mullally told Digital Spy. “They decided they wanted me to host a talk show instead, which also didn’t go particularly well. Although it wasn’t the show, it just wasn’t the right timing.”
Mullally also denied rumors that the proposed spinoff included Karen’s sidekick Jack, saying: “I was approached to do a spinoff with just Karen, not Karen and Jack. I don’t think Sean [Hayes] wanted to do [it] anyway.”
