Frasier has received the reboot treatment in a sequel series on Paramount+.Created by Chris Harris and Joe Cristalli, the revival series picks up as Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) moves back to Boston – the setting where the character was originally introduced in Cheers before he received his own spin-off, Frasier, set in Seattle.While some veteran cast members return like Bebe Neuwirth and Peri Gilpin, the series largely features a new ensemble, including Nicholas Lyndhurst as university professor Alan, Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frasier’s son Freddy, Anders Keith as Frasier’s nephew David, Jess Salgueiro as Freddy’s roommate Eve and Toks Olagundoye as Olivia.David Hyde Pierce, who played Frasier’s younger brother Niles in the original show, turned down the opportunity to appear in the revival.Speaking to People about his absence, Grammer said: “David basically decided he wasn’t really interested in repeating the performance of Niles.”His absence from the cast, however, took the show into a new direction, according to Grammer. “In a very funny way, it just took us to a new place, which was what we originally wanted to do anyway, which was a Frasier third act,” he added.
“It’s an entirely new life for him.”Since the original Frasier came to an end in 2004, Pierce has starred in The Good Wife and acclaimed HBO series Julia.While Paramount has yet to announce whether Frasier will return for a second season at the time of writing (October 12), the show has a clear link to Niles which could make any small appearance easy to pull off – if Pierce ever decides to appear.The sequel series features Niles and Daphne’s son David (Anders Keith), who is studying in Boston and shares many of his father’s traits. As such, it leaves a

Frasier starring Kelsey Grammer and Nicholas Lyndhurst has received mixed reviews from critics.Led by showrunners Chris Harris and Joe Cristalli, the series sees Frasier Crane (Grammer) return to Boston – where the character was first introduced in 1980s sitcom Cheers before his own spin-off, Frasier, which was set in Seattle.Aside from the return of Grammer, the show largely features a new ensemble cast, including Lyndhurst as university professor Alan, Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frasier’s son Freddy, Anders Keith as Frasier’s nephew David, Jess Salgueiro as Eve and Toks Olagundoya as Olivia.Critics, who have viewed the first five episodes, have been left divided on the show’s new direction however.
