NBC's Will & Grace returns from its holiday hiatus with the mid-season premiere on Thursday night, with series star Megan Mullally celebrating in a unique way.
The 60-year-old actress shared a throwback photo from 2006 on Instagram, which shows her fully-dressed in a black long-sleeved top and blue jeans, being caressed by her fully-nude co-star Sean Hayes.
As it turns out, this photo was actually lost several years ago, only to be found again and posted by Mullally to commemorate the midseason premiere.
And the risque snap mirrors the iconic photograph of the Beatles frontman John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono by Annie Leibovitz from 1980.

'Okay this is slightly miraculous. @SeanHayes and i took this photo in 2006,' Mullally began.

'I had a photo shoot scheduled for something else with the photographer @jackguyphotography, and we tacked it onto the end of that shoot,' she said, before revealing the big twist.

Will & Grace made its triumphant return with its 10th Season in the fall of 2017, and it was a huge hit right away.
The sitcom marked NBC's highest-rated sitcom debut in six years, and was already picked up for a second season before the first debuted.
NBC renewed the sitcom again for a third season back in March for 18 episodes, while extending the second season from 13 episodes to 18.

During its original run, Will & Grace ran for eight seasons between 1998 and 2006, starring Debra Messing as Grace, Eric McCormack as Will along with Mullally and Hayes.
Rumors of a new series sparked in 2016 when Messing, McCormack, Mullally and Hayes reunited for a new politically-charged short.
Mullally recently hosted the SAG Awards, which aired nationwide on TNT.
