Following a brief concept teaser and photos a few weeks back, Paramount+ has now released the proper first trailer for the “Frasier” revival/sequel series which premieres with two episodes on October 12th on the service, followed by a CBS premiere on October 17th.
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. Bebe Neuwirth is back 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.
