Premise

[edit]

Shortly after the death of his father, Martin Crane, the end of his nearly 20-year relationship with Charlotte, and his famous Chicago television show, psychiatrist Frasier Crane has returned to Boston in the hope of having a better relationship with his son, Frederick, now a Boston firefighter. In order to do so, Frasier takes a professorship at Harvard University, buys and moves into Freddy's apartment building and with the help of his family, friends, and his new colleagues, Frasier starts to embark on his "third act".

Cast

[edit]

Main

[edit]
  • Kelsey Grammer as Frasier Crane, who moves back to Boston to reconnect with his son. Following the last episode of the previous series, Frasier is now wealthy following a long and successful stint as a talk show host in Chicago and recently single. He is also a retired psychiatrist, published author, and gains employment as a lecturer of psychology at Harvard.[5]
  • Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frederick "Freddy" Crane, Frasier's and Lilith's son. Now in his mid-30s, and a Boston firefighter, he briefly went to Harvard, but chose to drop out, which strained his relationship with Frasier.[6] A nuanced combination of his father and grandfather, with his mother's sense of humor, he only becomes more of an intellectual when he drinks and his accent wears off. It's also discovered he can speak French, and do magic.[7][8] The character was played by Trevor Einhorn in the original series.
  • Toks Olagundoye as Professor Olivia Finch, the chair of Harvard University's psychology department. In the first episode, she was desperate to have Frasier join the Harvard faculty due to the attention his fame would bring. Although initially infatuated with Freddy,[9] she develops more variety in her relationships as the series progresses.
  • Jess Salgueiro as Eve, Freddy's friend, a single mother and the girlfriend of one of Freddy's fellow firefighters, who died in the line of duty.[10]
  • Anders Keith as David Crane, Frasier's nephew and Freddy's cousin who was born in the Frasier series finale and is the son of Niles Crane and Daphne Moon. He is a college freshman attending Harvard University, where he studies psychology. Awkward, yet confident, with a tendency for off-kilter observations, he has his father's intelligence, and his mother's heart yet neither of their polish.[10][11]
  • Nicholas Lyndhurst as Professor Alan Cornwall, Frasier's friend from Oxford University who is now a Harvard psychology professor. British, boozy, mischievous, and intellectually on-par with Frasier, he has a cavalier attitude towards his work and does not appear to have any affection for his students. He has four children, all of whom he is estranged from.[12]

Recurring

[edit]
  • Jimmy Dunn as Bernard "Moose" (seasons 1–2), one of Freddy's firefighter buddies and co-worker, who towards the end of season 1 was seemingly in a relationship with Olivia.[13][14]
  • Renee Pezzotta as Smokey (seasons 1–2), one of Freddy's firefighter buddies and co-worker.[13][14]
  • Kevin Daniels as Tiny (seasons 1–2), one of Freddy's firefighter buddies and co-worker.[13][14][15]
  • Peri Gilpin as Roz Doyle (seasons 1–2), Frasier's close friend and former co-worker. In season 2, she is contemplating leaving Seattle.[16][17]
  • Patricia Heaton as Holly Quagliano (season 2), a down to earth, unpretentious Boston native. She tends bar at upscale restaurants and events. According to the official logline, she is also extremely comfortable with who and where she is in life, which is a quality Frasier finds as alien as he does attractive.[18]

Guest

[edit]
  • June Diane Raphael as June Patrick (season 1), a single friend of Eve's who has been set up on a blind date with Freddy, but takes a liking to Frasier.[19]
  • Jacqueline Obradors as Siobhan (season 1), a single friend of Eve's and a former opera singer who is intended to be Frasier's blind date.[20]
  • Bebe Neuwirth as Lilith Sternin (season 1), Frasier's ex-wife and Freddy's mother.[21]
  • Vince Wilfork as himself (season 1).[22]
  • Amy Sedaris as Dr. "Doc" Stathos (season 2), a municipal therapist with a down home, scattered veneer. She works with the firefighters at Freddy's firehouse and is also a big fan of Frasier Crane from his old TV talk show.[23]
  • Yvette Nicole Brown as Dr. Monica Finch (season 2), a part haughty professor, and part Nancy Drew. She is Olivia Finch's brilliant, biting and delightfully deadpan sister, who has everything Olivia has and everything Olivia wants and never misses a chance to remind her.[24]
  • Greer Grammer as Alice Doyle (season 2), born in the fifth season of the show's original run, to Roz Doyle. Now in her late 20s, friendly, and outgoing, she is studying architecture at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) in Providence. According to official loglines, she is eager to catch up with Freddy... and complicate whatever romantic plans he may have.[25] She was originally played by former child actress Ashley Thomas in the original series.
  • Dan Butler as Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe (season 2), a shock jock who hosted KACL's Gonzo Sports Show in the show's original run.[26]
  • Edward Hibbert as Gil Chesterton (season 2), an uppity food critic who hosted KACL's Restaurant Beat in the show's original run.[26]
  • Harriet Sansom Harris as Bebe Glazer (season 2), Frasier's manipulative agent who was seen in the show's original run.[27]
  • Rachel Bloom as Phoebe Glazer (season 2), Bebe's daughter.[27]

11"The Good Father"James BurrowsJoe Cristalli & Chris HarrisOctober 12, 2023 (2023-10-12)101

Accompanied by his nephew David, Frasier Crane returns to Boston after his father's funeral and his breakup from Charlotte to give a guest lecture at Harvard University as a favor to an old college classmate of his, Alan Cornwall. While in town, he drops in on his son Frederick, now a Boston firefighter, and Freddy's roommate, Eve, who Frasier assumes is Freddy's girlfriend. Frasier's relationship with Freddy has been tense since Freddy dropped out of Harvard and has been further strained since Freddy did not attend Martin's funeral. While Frasier tries to reconnect with Freddy, Alan's boss, Olivia, tries to recruit him to teach at Harvard and Freddy hides his living arrangements with Eve and her infant son John. Eventually, Freddy admits that Eve was the girlfriend of John's father, a fellow firefighter who fell in the line of duty, and that he did not attend Martin's funeral due to the mental anguish of his survivor's guilt. Frasier quickly decides to accept the job at Harvard and buys Eve and Freddy's apartment building to be a part of his son's life.

  • This episode is dedicated to the memory of John Mahoney who died on February 4, 2018. In another tribute, the pub where Eve works and the other characters often meet at is called "Mahoney's Taphouse." The founding date for Mahoney's is listed as 1940, the same year Mahoney himself was born.
22"Moving In"James BurrowsStephen LloydOctober 12, 2023 (2023-10-12)102
Frasier tries to convince Freddy to move out of Eve's apartment and into his. Eve is eager for Freddy to accept as, while she is grateful for Freddy's support since her boyfriend died, Freddy's habits drive her crazy. Clashes quickly arise between father and son when Freddy's decor and tastes clash with Frasier's as much as Frasier's did with his own father. Olivia is eager to promote the fact that Frasier is now teaching at Harvard until Frasier unknowingly uses metaphors in the presence of a reporter that make it sound like he murdered his son. Meanwhile, Eve comes to rely on Frasier when she discovers that his voice lulls her baby to sleep, a reliance that Frasier misconstrues as romantic interest.
33"First Class"Kelly ParkLauren HousemanOctober 19, 2023 (2023-10-19)104
Frasier's teaching career at Harvard gets off to a rocky start, prompting Olivia to lean into his years as the host of daytime talk show "Dr. Crane" to drum up student interest. Embarrassed by this and yearning for the seriousness of academia, Frasier enlists Eve to attend his class undercover and stealthily guide his lecture away from showmanship; this fails when she begins openly arguing with David, who feels slighted that he was not invited to take part. Afterward, Olivia helps lift Frasier's spirits by reminding him of the good he is already achieving, and by revealing the impact that his show had on her in her younger years.
44"Trivial Pursuits"Kelsey GrammerBob DailyOctober 26, 2023 (2023-10-26)103
Frasier, Olivia and Alan attend trivia night with Freddy and his firehouse, where Freddy interprets Frasier's comments on his performance as a slight against his chosen profession. At Eve's suggestion, Freddy invites Frasier to spend the day at the firehouse to see what his job actually entails, but it backfires when Frasier gets along with the other firefighters (aside from their pet Dalmatian) and only gets to ride along on a trivial call. When a major fire breaks out, Frasier admits to Eve that his seeming disdain of Freddy's career is motivated by fear of losing him like he used to fear losing his father as a child. Meanwhile, Alan and Olivia try and convince Eve that she was incorrect about the trivia answers, while Freddy's firehouse assumes that David is a homeless orphan when he shows up disheveled and hungry (he had gotten trapped in a library basement over the weekend) and mentions that his parents aren't around.
55"The Founders' Society"Phill LewisFarhan ArshadNovember 2, 2023 (2023-11-02)105
Frasier, Alan, and Olivia are invited to join the Founders' Society, an elite club of Harvard's most distinguished faculty. They form an alliance to try and get each other accepted, but Alan gets a medieval gauntlet stuck on his hand and Olivia is forced to strike out on her own after hearing that only two positions are open and tricks the other two into talking to a waiter by saying that he's the dean. In the end, Olivia and Frasier are accepted while Alan admits that he does value their friendship. Meanwhile, David's attempt to woo Eve is so bad that it results in Freddy and Eve giving him a crash course in interacting with women, with both predictable and unpredictable results.
66"Blind Date"Kelly ParkJoe CristalliNovember 9, 2023 (2023-11-09)106
Frasier and Freddy both agree to be set up on blind dates by Eve; to neutralize Frasier's snobbery and Freddy's fear of intimacy, Eve doesn't tell them anything whatsoever about their dates. When a woman named June turns up at the Cranes' door, she rapidly finds common ground with both of them, leading to attempts to find out whom she's actually been fixed up with. It eventually turns out that June was meant for Freddy, but she ends up liking Frasier more. Eventually, Frasier's date arrives and Frasier wants to think about which woman he wants to pursue. When the women find out about this, they both leave in disgust. Meanwhile Eve invites Alan and Olivia to an experimental play written by a friend of hers, which even she admits is terrible.
77"Freddy's Birthday"Kelsey GrammerSasha StromanNovember 16, 2023 (2023-11-16)107
The inevitable reunion between Frasier and his infamous ex-wife Lilith finally occurs, much to Freddy's horror. Realizing that their constant bickering will only lead to him cutting both of them out of his life, the pair agree to both attend his birthday party and try to keep things civil. At the party, Lilith and Frasier descend into a predictable fight over who knows their son better. After nearly giving in to whatever tiny spark remains between them, they agree to separate family schedules to spare Freddy the drama. Meanwhile, Alan desperately tries to jog Lilith's memory of him, with hilarious results, while David and Eve try and make the party more enjoyable.
88"The B Story"Kelsey GrammerMiles WoodsNovember 23, 2023 (2023-11-23)108
Frasier is delighted to discover that when drunk, Freddy sheds his working-class affectations and becomes a hyper-intelligent, erudite snob. Eve tries to get Frasier to do something about the bees that have infested their building's entrance, but Frasier becomes hyper-fixated on obtaining the rank of professor despite his lack of academic experience. Olivia agrees to help, but Frasier's obsession and a series of comic errors lead the tenure committee to believe that he is a drunkard. Meanwhile, Frasier gives David a B on a term paper, which sparks an existential crisis in him, until he too learns of Freddy's drunken personality change. The ending result is a B− which insults Freddy so much that he decides to help David with his next paper.
99"The Fix Is In"Victor GonzalezRobb ChavisNovember 30, 2023 (2023-11-30)109
When Freddy complains about being treated like a child, Frasier suggests that he help with repairs around the apartment, but things get more complicated when Frasier's neuroses - and his age - catch up with him. Meanwhile, after five successive Teaching Assistants quit on Alan, Olivia gleefully assigns David to him.
1010"Reindeer Games"Kelsey GrammerJanene Lin & Jenna Martin & Naima PearceDecember 7, 2023 (2023-12-07)110
On Christmas Eve, Freddy stretches himself to be there for Frasier, who's coping with Martin's death by throwing a lavish party, and Eve, who's hiding out at home dealing with her own loss. Alan and David come up with a surprisingly fun party game, while Olivia finds herself drawn into a charming Christmas cliché with Freddy's coworker Moose. When Frasier hits a breaking point, Freddy's gift finally arrives in the form of Frasier's old friend Roz Doyle.

Production

[edit]

Background

[edit]

Talks of a revival began in 2016 but were initially denied by Grammer, though they resurfaced in mid-to-late 2018, with Grammer confirming it was being looked into. In February and March 2019, he said in several interviews that a reboot was likely. He indicated a new season would pay tribute to John Mahoney, who portrayed Martin, Frasier's father in the original run of Frasier and passed away in 2018.[33][5][34][35][36]

In late 2019, Grammer said "we've hatched the plan" for a Frasier revival and it was originally reported that it would air in 2020.[37][38] In February 2021, it was reported that the revival was being discussed at Paramount+,[39] possibly for a 10-episode season order for 2022.[40]

Announcement

[edit]

On February 24, 2021, the revival was greenlit for an exclusive debut on Paramount+. Grammer said he "gleefully" anticipated "sharing the next chapter in the continuing journey of Dr. Frasier Crane" as he had "spent over 20 years" of his "creative life on the Paramount lot".[41] Paramount+ officially gave the revival a 10-episode season order in October 2022.[42]

Casting

[edit]

Casting director Jeff Greenberg returned.[43] David Hyde Pierce had multiple conversations with the showrunners about reprising his role as Frasier's brother, Niles,[44] but it was later reported that he had declined (as Pierce did not think there was much for Niles to do in the revival) and that the other actors from the original series were also either not returning or unlikely to return.[45][46] Jane Leeves, who played Martin's physical therapist and Niles' love interest (later wife), Daphne Moon, and Peri Gilpin, who played Frasier's producer and close friend Roz Doyle, had previously discussed the possibility of a revival.[47][48]

In January 2023, Jack Cutmore-Scott joined the cast as Freddy Crane.[6] It was also reported that English actor Nicholas Lyndhurst would be joining the cast.[12] Later that month, Anders Keith was cast as Niles and Daphne's son, David, while Jess Salgueiro was cast as Freddy's roommate, Eve.[49] In February, Toks Olagundoye was cast as Olivia.[9]

In March 2023, it was announced that Bebe Neuwirth would be reprising her role as Frasier's ex-wife Lilith Sternin in the revival.[21] In April 2023, it was announced that Gilpin would also reprise her role as Roz.[16] Both would reportedly feature in guest or recurring roles, not main cast.[21][16]

Filming

[edit]

On January 30, 2023, Greenberg shared a picture of a script page from a table read which gave some more information about the show. The first episode would be called "The Good Father" in a reference to the pilot episode of the original series being called "The Good Son". It was written by Joe Cristalli and Chris Harris and directed by veteran sitcom director James Burrows,[50][43] who directed episodes of the original run and will also direct the episode following "The Good Father".[51] The first episode of the revival was filmed in February 2023.[50] Lead actor Kelsey Grammer directed the seventh episode, "Freddy's Birthday", which was filmed on April 4, 2023.[citation needed] Filming for the series wrapped on May 2, 2023; one day after the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike commenced, which meant the writers could not be on set for filming night.[52]

News broke on May 9, 2024, that the second season had started production, with James Burrows once again tapped to direct the first two episodes, along with the announcement that Peri Gilpin would again reprise her role as Roz for multiple episodes.[53] The second season was filmed at Paramount Studios on Stage 18, with tapings taking place every Tuesday.[54][55]

Release

[edit]

The revival premiered on October 12, 2023, on Paramount+. The first two episodes of the Frasier revival also aired on October 17, 2023, on CBS.[1][56]

An "inside the series" episode was released on October 6, 2023, on Paramount+, and the next day aired on CBS affiliate stations.[57]

The second season was released on September 19, 2024, with a two-episode premiere, once again on Paramount+.

Reception

[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 60% of 73 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.1/10. The website's consensus reads: "With Kelsey Grammer safely back in the role he was born to play, Frasier scores as comfort viewing even if it can't quite compare to the classic original series."[58]
