With the return of Frasier Crane to Boston in the new Paramount+ revival, does that open the door for a potential visit to Cheers?

Actor and producer Kelsey Grammer was quizzed by trade publication Deadline.

Deadline: Any chance Frasier could revisit the Cheers bar now that he’s in Boston? Also, any plans to have other characters from the series appear in the new show?

Grammer: I’m not sure the guys who wrote Cheers would want us to go back to Cheers. It’s like, let’s let that be where it is. It’s a monument in the minds of television history. But is it possible we might see someone from the old days at the bar? Maybe. I was just spitballing a little while ago about how it might be kind of fun to do a Christmas show next year, the Christmas of Cheers Past. Frasier could revisit scenes that he lived out before like when he had made a mistake. What could he do to fix it? [Laughs] I don’t know, it just seems like a good idea and it would be really funny. And [the original cast] wouldn’t even have to appear; it would just be old clips. But we’ll see. You know, I love Ted [Danson] and working with him, so I’d love to do something with him. We just haven’t broken that idea yet.

Deadline: Do you have any plans yet for what we could see in Season 2?

Grammer: We’ve been kicking around some ideas but they mostly revolve around the idea of Frasier finding happiness and becoming a good father and having breakthroughs at college. Maybe Frasier could become an important person in somebody’s life [as a professor]? He’s always getting into trouble in one way or another so I’m sure that’s going to continue to happen. Who knows what’s gonna arise? We do have really talented writers who will come up with some ideas and we’ll discuss it. It’s a collaborative effort and I think we’re going to be fine but I have no beans to spill at this point.

Deadline: Is there any chance we could see an appearance from David Hyde Pierce at any point?

Grammer: Well, I suppose there’s a chance but I’m the wrong guy to ask.

  3. I would like it if, on a whim,, he returns to the address, to find out that the bar has a new name, the bar has been remodelled, and that the bar has become a coffee cafe. The clientel isn’t the regulars of bar proppers, but young, upwardly mobile, business professionals.

    In other words, you can’t go home.
