Kelsey Grammer's FRASIER Sequel Series Picked Up for New Season at Paramount+
The Frasier sequel series is now officially moving forward at Paramount+. Kelsey Grammer is executive-producing the series as well as reprising his signature character, psychiatrist-turned-radio host Frasier Crane. Details about the new series are also not being revealed beyond the fact that it is focused on Frasier Crane’s (Grammer) next chapter in a different city. He will be surrounded by new characters, with original Frasier cast members not expected to be series regulars but possibly making guest appearances.
That is the same storytelling technique used to set up Frasier. The psychiatrist (Grammer), introduced on the Boston-set NBC hit Cheers, moved back to his hometown of Seattle for the spinoff series where he was joined by new characters while Cheers alums did occasional guest stints.
The new incarnation of Frasier comes from writers Chris Harris (How I Met Your Mother) and Joe Cristalli (Life in Pieces), who exec produce with Grammer, Tom Russo and Jordan McMahon. The series will be produced by CBS Studios in association with Grammer’s Grammnet NH Productions.
In July, Grammer confirmed in an interview that they were “in the final stages of the final script for the first episode” of the followup series, adding, “I’ve had a couple of runs through it, and I cried, so I’m happy.”
The original Frasier ran for 11 seasons between 1993 and 2004 on NBC, and it is one of my all-time favorite series. It’s such a well-written show with such heart and silly comic genius. I love it, and I can’t wait to see it return with the hope it holds up just as well. Are you looking forward to the new Frasier series?
