Eric McCormack reveals condition for sitcom return

Eric McCormack attended the premiere of his upcoming MGM+ thriller series Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, where he spoke about what it would take for him to make a sitcom return.

Revealing that recently he has been doing “a lot more drama”, he added, "That's where I got my start so I love finding my way back there.”

After being asked if he would do another sitcom after playing Will Truman on Will & Grace, he responded, “It's not a sitcom world anymore, certainly not before the camera.”

“They're few and far between,” McCormack said, “But yeah, there is a feeling of, ‘Huh, if I'm going to do that again it's going to have to be pretty great.’”

Reflecting on what attracted him to Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, the actor claimed, “Anthony Horowitz is just a really great mystery writer. The characters were really fascinating.”

“My character is really hard to like for a while,” he added further. “He's a bit of an a--hole. We'll discover his soft side later. We'll discover his inner hero, but I think at first he's hard to figure out.”
