Frasier has re-entered the building…

The Frasier revival, starring Kelsey Grammer, will hit Paramount+ in October.

The new series also stars Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frasier’s son Freddy; Nicholas Lyndhurst as Frasier’s old college buddy turned university professor Alan; Toks Olagundoye as Olivia, Alan’s colleague and head of the university’s psychology department; Jess Salgueiro as Freddy’s roommate Eve; and Anders Keith as Frasier’s nephew David.

A new recording of the iconic theme song, Tossed Salads & Scrambled Eggs by Kelsey Grammer is below.

Filmed in front of a live studio audience at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, the new series follows Frasier Crane (Grammer) in the next chapter of his life as he returns to Boston with new challenges to face, new relationships to forge and an old dream or two to finally fulfill.

Frasier comes from writers Chris Harris (How I Met Your Mother) and Joe Cristalli (Life in Pieces), who executive produce with Kelsey Grammer, Tom Russo and Jordan McMahon. The series is produced by CBS Studios, in association with Grammer’s Grammnet NH Productions. The first two episodes of the new series are directed by legendary director and television creator James Burrows, who is best known for his work as co-creator, executive producer and director of the critically acclaimed series Cheers, as well as the original series Frasier, Will & Grace and Dear John. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution outside of the Paramount+ markets.

Friday, 13 October on Paramount+.

  1. I loved many series of this show (some were better than ever) because it was a true ensemble cast, combined with some of the wittiest writing I have seen on a TV sitcom.

    For me Frasier was my least favourite character. Niles was a genius physical comic, Daphne was sublime in her little side rants, Martin was the father we all wished we had (RIP) and my favourite was Bebe (amazing how an actor can make so much out of one character, but is nothing in other characters).

    Sometimes things in the past should be left well alone and this is one example for me. Don’t know what was driving this decision (ego or studios), but I sense it won’t end well and could spoil a legacy.

    1. It’s back to Boston but not to a bar, or the media, but to academia in a Yale/Harvard Ivy League university. Plenty of fun to be had with a pompus, rich, white guy there. It will of course depend on the writing. On the bright side it’s on Paramount+ so it dies, nobody will see.
