Paramount+ has released the first photos and concept teaser for the “Frasier” revival/sequel series, in addition to announcing an October 12th premiere date for the first two episodes.
The legendary James Burrows helms those first two episodes for the revival which sees five-time Emmy winner Kelsey Grammer return as the titular psychotherapist Frasier Crane.
We join him 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 fulfil.
Co-stars include 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.
Peri Gilpin, who played Roz in the original series, returns as a guest star. Also back is Bebe Neuwirth reprising her role as Lilith Sternin.
The new version hails from writers Chris Harris and Joe Cristalli. Like the original, the series is filmed in front of a live studio audience and hails from CBS Studios.
The clip also reveals a newly recorded rendition of the sitcom’s theme song “Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs” by Grammer. The two episode debut will also score a network premiere on CBS on October 17th.
