Eric McCormack has denied reports that a Will & Grace spinoff series is in development.

Speculation earlier this year suggested that a spinoff sitcom would follow the characters Jack, played by Sean Hayes, and Megan Mullally's Karen.

McCormack, who played Will, has dismissed the talk as pure fantasy, saying: "To my knowledge, there's no talk of that. It's all just a fun rumour."

Will And Grace was cancelled by NBC in 2006 after eight seasons.
