Fraiser

Kelsey Grammar is back for the Frasier revival and we officially have a premiere date

After a 19-year hiatus, Frasier is coming back to TV screens and none other than Kelsey Grammar will be reprising his role as the titular character.

The revival of the popular series will premiere exclusively on Paramount+ on October 13 and was filmed in front of a live studio audience at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. It will pick up in the future and will follow Frasier as he returns to Boston; the city that he originally lived in when he appeared on Cheers.

The press release teases that Frasier has “new challenges to face, new relationships to forge and an old dream or two to finally fulfil.”

Fans who are hoping for the very recognisable Frasier theme song won’t be disappointed, either. Kelsey Grammar has recorded a cover of Tossed Salads & Scrambled Eggs, which, of course, features the iconic guitar chords in the intro.

Who else is in the Frasier revival?

Along with Kelsey Grammar, the new series stars 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.

When did Frasier star and what awards has it won?

The first ever episode of Frasier aired on September 16, 1993, and the show ran for 11 seasons until 2004. All 264 episodes can be streamed on Paramount+.

Even to this day, it still holds the record for most Emmy wins for a comedy series with 37 wins and 107 nominations. It has also won two Golden Globe Awards and has been nominated 24 times.

Is there a trailer?

There is! However, there isn’t much more to see than Kelsey Grammar’s rendition of Tossed Salads & Scrambled Eggs. You can watch it below.

The Frasier revival will stream on Paramount+ from 12 October.
