FRASIER Reboot Gets Official Order From Paramount+
By Movieguide® Contributor
Paramount+ has officially green-lit the FRASIER reboot!
The sequel series has been in the works for over a year now, and the streaming service just officially ordered episodes.
The new show will follow Dr. Frasier Crane as he navigates a new phase of his life in a new city. Kelsey Grammer is reprising his role as the lead character, but no other cast members have been confirmed yet.
However, David Hyde Pierce, Jane Leeves, and Peri Gilpin are rumored to be making appearances as Niles Crane, Daphne, and Roz.
The cast will also feature new characters that Frasier encounters in his new job and life.
Writers Chris Harris and Joe Cristalli are working on the script, which is fitting, considering one of their past hobbies — the pair ran a Twitter account where they made up fictional scenes and lines for a modern-day FRASIER.
Movieguide® previously reported on the FRASIER reboot:
Kelsey Grammer recently updated FRASIER fans on the upcoming reboot, and it sounds like it has the Dr. Frasier Crane seal of approval!
“We’re in the final stages of the final script for the first episode of FRASIER, and it looks pretty good,” he said while appearing on THE TALK. “I’ve had a couple of runs through it, and I cried, so you know, I’m happy.”
He then joked about the key ingredient to the show: “Frasier. Honestly, it was always called that, so it’s me. The key is me or I am the key.”
Production on the FRASIER reboot is expected to start this fall.
“There have been some conversations about [starting in] maybe October, maybe a little later,” Grammer explained. “There are a couple of other things coming up. We’ve developed a couple of other projects that look like they are going to shoot first.”
