Kelsey Grammer will soon be back on our screens as the pretentious radio-host psychiatrist Dr Frasier Crane.
Paramount+ has released a brand new teaser for its revival of the sitcom Frasier, which not only confirms its release date but also reveals the revamped theme song.
The reboot will debut with its first two episodes on Paramount+ on 12th October in the US and Canada, and on 13th October in all other regions, before dropping new episodes every Thursday.
Additionally, the first two episodes will air back-to-back on CBS on 17th October from 9.15pm ET/PT.
The new teaser features a new recording of series star Kelsey Grammer performing the show’s theme song, Tossed Salads & Scrambled Eggs. Watch it below:
The Frasier reboot sees its titular character (Grammer) starting a new life in Boston, where he has “new challenges to face, new relationships to forge and an old dream or two to finally fulfil”.
Alongside Grammer, the cast also includes Nicholas Lyndhurst as Frasier’s old college friend turned university professor Alan, Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frasier’s son Freddy, Toks Olagundoye as Alan’s colleague Olivia, Jess Salgueiro as Freddy’s roommate Eve and Anders Keith as Frasier’s nephew David.
Bebe Neuwirth will also guest star in one episode, returning as Dr Lilith Sternin.
The official synopsis for the Frasier revival reads: “The new series follows Frasier Crane (Grammer) 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. Frasier has re-entered the building!”
It was confirmed back in February 2021 that Frasier is being rebooted by Paramount+.
President of CBS Studios David Stapf said in a statement: “Frasier is one of the most acclaimed comedies in modern television history and truly defines premium storytelling.
“There has long been a call from fans for its return, and that call is now answered thanks to the amazing Kelsey Grammer reprising his iconic role of Dr Frasier Crane and a brilliant creative plan from Joe [Cristalli, series co-writer], Chris [Harris, co-writer] and Kelsey. We can’t wait to reveal its next chapter on Paramount+.”
The Frasier revival will debut with its first two episodes on Paramount+ on 12th October in the US and Canada and on 13th October in all other territories.
