The highly-anticipated Will & Grace reboot feels like just the right panacea in the time of Donald Trump. And now, the show's official YouTube account has released the biggest teaser of the new season yet. Between official promo shots of the four leads and clips from the original series, the clip sandwiches in snippets of what each character is up to, and from the looks of it, and from what Will says, nothing has really changed since the show ended when George W. Bush was in the White House in 2005.

As the new teaser suggests, Will and Grace are still living together in their New York City apartment, Jack lives across the hall, and Karen is still rich. Certainly, from the clips so far, it seems that one thing that hasn't changed is that Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Sean Hayes, and Megan Mullally are at the top of their game as if it hasn't been 12 years since the show ended its original eight-season run.

The new clip depicts the four main characters pretty much as they always were--celebrity/self-obsessed Jack, unrepentant Republican boozer Karen, competitive Grace, and Will with the bon mots.

The Will & Grace reboot premieres Sept. 28 on NBC.
