Paramount+ has given the official greenlight to a multi-camera comedy series follow-up to the iconic 1990s sitcom “Frasier”.
Kelsey Grammer will reprise his signature character of psychiatrist-turned-radio host Frasier Crane in the new series which will focus on Frasier’s next chapter in a different city outside of the original’s Seattle setting. He will also be surrounded by new characters.
Original “Frasier” cast members are not expected to be series regulars, but could make guest appearances. The number of episodes has not been confirmed but is expected to be around ten.
Chris Harris (“How I Met Your Mother”) and Joe Cristalli (“Life In Pieces”) are writing and will executive produce alongside Grammer, Tom Russo and Jordan McMahon. CBS Studios and Grammnet NH Productions are producing.
The original “Frasier” ran for eleven seasons between 1993 and 2004 on NBC and co-starred David Hyde Pierce, Jane Leeves, Peri Gilpin, and the late John Mahoney. It won 37 Emmy Awards, including five consecutive Emmys for Outstanding Comedy Series.
