Returning cast, release window and everything we know

Sitcom spin-offs can be a difficult task, as many fail to do justice to the show they haunt. A famous example is the now infamous Friends spin off Joey, which was met with disapproval from both critics and the public. However, when done right, a spin-off can be both a wonderful tribute to the source material and a great show in its own right. One of the most successful sitcoms of all time, let alone spin-offs, is Frasier. Originally born as a spin-off of the popular film Bottom up, Frasier followed fan-favorite character Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) when he returns to his hometown of Seattle as a radio host to reconnect with his family. All sorts of wonderful shenanigans ensue, leading to some of the comedy’s most iconic moments throughout the show’s 11 seasons and 264 episodes.


Frasier was so successful that at 37 it held the title for most Primetime Emmy Awards of all time, only surpassing that achievement game of Thrones in 2016. Understandably, over the years the show has garnered an enormous group of dedicated fans who watch rerun after rerun of their favorite sitcom, desperate for some kind of reboot to arrive someday. Well, that day is upon us, with a fresh refreshment Frasier Reboot very much in our horizon. With a release window proposed and some casting news announced, here’s everything you need to know about it Frasier Reboot so far.

Where to watch Frasier reboot?

Kelsey Grammer first began rumoring about a revival in 2016 and initially denied the rumors, but when they surfaced two years later he was more positive about the idea. Fast forward to the end of 2019 and Grammer has all but confirmed the reboot, and the excitement is really building from there. Fans would have to wait another two years before finding out where to see the return. However, on February 24, 2021, it was officially announced that the Frasier The revival would be exclusive to Paramount Plus. For anyone without a Paramount Plus subscription who needs one in time to return Frasieran ad-free subscription costs $9.99 per month, a small price to pay to finally see the return of one of the sitcom’s greatest achievements.

However, in August 2023, it was announced that the first two episodes would also air on CBS as a special event on Tuesday, October 17. So if you’re not a Paramount+ subscriber, you can still get a taste of the long-awaited new episodes.

Is there a trailer for the Frasier reboot?

What is the Frasier reboot about?

When we last saw Frasier Crane on May 13, 2004, he had told his friends about his intention to move to San Francisco, but as his plane lands we see that he actually followed Charlotte to Chicago and said: “I wish I’m lucky,” as the show’s final moments went black. Of course, a lot of time has passed since that episode, and we meet Frasier in present-day Boston, the same city where the source depicts the series Bottom up was hired. This opens up the possibility for some cameo appearances from this very show, which will likely create even more excitement among fans.

The official plot synopsis of the series reads:

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 moves to Boston with new challenges, new relationships to make and an old dream returns or two to finally fulfill them. Frasier has re-entered the building!

Confirmed to return to the show are among others Bebe Neuwirth as dr Lilith Sternin, Jane Leeves as Daphne, Peri Gilpin as Roz Doyle and of course Kelsey Grammer as the eponymous Fraiser Crane. There were other confirmed cast members as well, including Nicholas Lyndhurst (Only fools and horses) plays Alan Cornwall, an old college friend of Frasier’s, Jack Cutmore-Scott (principle) as Freddy, and Jess Salgueiro (The young) as Freddy’s roommate, Eve.
