Everything We Know About The ‘Frasier’ Reboot!

It’s been almost two whole decades since the original Frasier show ended, and now the revival is almost here! This is everything we know about the reboot so far!

The anticipated Frasier reboot will premiere on October 12, 2023, and will be streaming only on Paramount+. The official trailer for the series came out on September 14, 2023. Here’s everything we know so far about the show!

Where We Left Off

The original sitcom ended with Frasier deciding to move to Chicago and leave Seattle to be with his girlfriend, Charlotte. It was a shock for viewers as Frasier was planning to move to San Franciso for a new job, but instead, he followed his heart. The rest of the other character’s storylines ended as new beginnings for them. The episode was called, “Goodbye Seattle” and many viewers felt it had a proper finale ending.

Plot

The revival series will follow Frasier Crane in Boston, Massachusetts which is where the character was first introduced in the popular sitcom, Cheers. He will be reconnecting with his son Freddy, facing new challenges, forming new relationships, and trying to accomplish an old goal of his.

Cast

The cast includes Kelsey Grammar who will be reprising his role as Frasier Crane. Nicholas Lyndhurst will be playing Alan Cornwall who was a friend of Frasier’s in college and now is a professor. Jack Cutmore-Scott is cast as Freddy Crane who is Frasier’s son. Anders Keith as David Crane, Frasier’s nephew who was born in the series finale and is the son of Niles and Daphne. Jess Salguerio as Eve, Freddy’s roommate, and Toks Olagundoye as Olivia, the head of the Ivy League University.

The only other original cast member who is returning as a recurring character is Peri Gilpin who played Roz Doyle, Frasier’s long-time friend and co-worker. Bebe Neuwirth said she is open to coming back to reprise her character as Fraiser’s ex-wife, Lilith Sternin who was originally on Cheers. Although many of the original cast members will not be returning for the show, that does not mean there won’t be cameos. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled!

Trailer Reactions

When the trailer dropped many people felt nostalgic just from seeing Frasier Crane back on their screens.

Another fan said the trailer looks hilarious and that they will be definitely tuning in, but did point out that it will be a bit unusual not to see some of their favorite original characters like Niles who was played by David Hyde Pierce.

Another fan commented on how seeing Frasier Crane again was sentimental to them.

Be sure to catch the two-episode series premiere on October 12th which will be available on Paramount+.
