Kelsey Grammer Teases the Frasier Reboot ‘May Even Be Funnier’ Than the Original Show

Paramount+ is developing a reboot of the popular series Frasier. This time around, the production has decided to shift gears and film the new episodes in Boston instead of the original filming location in Seattle. After a nearly two-decade hiatus, Kelsey Grammer, renowned for his portrayal of Frasier Crane, is set to reprise his role. This marks a nostalgic return to the character that first captured viewers’ hearts on the series Cheers in 1984, with a two-part episode titled “The Rebound.” While the reboot will not see the return of the original characters as series regulars, it promises to introduce an entirely new ensemble cast.

Grammer has been vocal about his belief that the reboot has the potential to be funnier than the original show. In an interview with The Independent, he offered insights into what viewers can expect from the upcoming Frasier reboot. Grammer expressed enthusiasm about the new cast members they have assembled, hinting at their remarkable talent and the possibility of audiences falling in love with them.

“At first, you cast these people, you’ve never seen them before. And boy, by about the middle of the second show, I thought, ‘Son of a gun. He’s actually doing it. He’s like Frasier’s kid. Wow.’ So I think it’s gonna be a great discovery for people. There’s some new people on the show to really fall in love with, and arguably, it may even be funnier.”

Laura Linney Uncertain about Her Role in the Frasier Reboot

CBS Television Distribution

The Frasier reboot has recently wrapped up its production phase. The revival aims to provide viewers with a glimpse into the life of Frasier Crane since his departure from the radio show in 2004. With the final episode of the original series presenting Frasier with a challenging choice between a new television job in San Francisco and a future with his on-again, off-again girlfriend Charlotte, portrayed by Laura Linney, audiences are curious to discover which path he ultimately chose.

While details about the Frasier reboot remain tightly under wraps, Linney has expressed uncertainty about her involvement in the upcoming series. In an interview with Metro UK, Linney revealed that she has no knowledge of the plans laid out for the revival. This suggests that Linney’s character may not be making an appearance in the show, especially considering that production for the first season has already concluded.

“Not that I know of! […] I love that whole group of people so I’d be… I have no idea what their plans are. They’re keeping it close to the vest.”

Joining the Frasier revival is a fresh and talented cast. Jack Cutmore-Scott takes on the role of Frasier’s son Freddy, while Nicholas Lyndhurst portrays Alan, an old friend from Frasier’s college days who has become a university professor. Jess Salguerio steps into the shoes of Freddy’s roommate Eve. Additionally, Toks Olagundoye assumes the role of Olivia, the head of the psychiatric department and a colleague of Alan’s. James Burrows will be at the helm, directing the first episode of the revival. The release date for the Frasier reboot has not been announced yet.
