After a successful first season run, the Frasier reboot Season 2 is back for more golden quips, Frasier style.
First appearing in the classic sitcom Cheers, Frasier Crane has grown to become a household name and is widely considered as one of the most remarkable characters from the ’90s. His performance on Cheers made a lasting impression that producers decided to expand his role even though he was only set to appear for a few episodes. He later became the star of his own show in the spin-off, Frasier.
Nearly a decade after it concluded with Frasier Season 11, a revival spin-off graced our screens with Kelsey Grammer returning to play the iconic character.

What is the Frasier reboot about?
The new Frasier, which premiered in 2023, follows Crane (Kelsey Grammer) as he navigates the next chapter of his life. Looking to reconnect with his son Frederick (Jack Cutmore-Scott), he returns to Boston more snobbish and funnier than ever.
The Frasier reboot, of course, introduces fresh characters as Frasier explores present-day relationships and meets new people. His return to the small screen also signifies that he still has things to do and old dreams to finally fulfill. And we’re all up for it.
Created by Joe Cristalli and Chris Harris, the Frasier revival was greenlit for an exclusive launch on Paramount+ back in 2021 with Grammer confirming his involvement in the new project.
With several TV classics securing modern revivals, Paramount choosing Frasier is welcome news for fans of excellent comedy.
The original sitcom won a total of 37 Primetime Emmy Awards during its 11-year run, so Frasier returning nearly a decade after its 2004 finale is a television event worth getting into.
