Per the official description of the show, “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 fulfill. Frasier has re-entered the building!”

Along with Grammer, the cast also includes Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frasier’s son Freddy; Nicholas Lyndhurst as Frasier’s old college buddy turned university professor Alan; Toks Olagundoye as Olivia, Alan’s colleague and head of the university’s psychology department; Jess Salgueiro as Freddy’s roommate Eve; and Anders Keith as Frasier’s nephew David.

The series is produced by CBS Studios in association with Grammnet NH Productions. James Burrows directed the first two episodes. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution outside of the Paramount+ markets.

    Cheers was good because it was an ensemble cast, what’s the point of making a show just about Frasier? I’m not gonna watch it if there’s no Woody or Norm, what would be the point?”

    I’m not saying I think this will be as good/better than the first run of Frasier, but people should at least give it a shot before writing it off with the exact same criticism that was leveled against the show they now love when it was announced 30 yrs ago.
