Every Monday, CBC Arts runs down the latest arts and culture news on State of the Arts, a live chat between our very own Amanda Parris and Peter Knegt (never fear, Romeo Candido fans — he'll be back next month).
After more than 10 years away, beloved sitcom Will & Grace makes its return to TV. (ABC)
For our latest edition, Amanda and Peter discussed David Letterman's new talk show My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, the trend of TV revivals in general and the Canada's Top Ten Festival currently bringing 2017's best Canadian films to theatres across the country.
Feel free to add your take on the episode's audience question (what series would you like to see revived?) while you watch below:
