'September 5' Covers Its Streaming Date

Posted by on
  Have a few Munich knacks. Paramount announced on Monday morning that Best Original Screenplay Oscar and Critics Choice nominee September 5 is headed to Paramount+ tomorrow, Tuesday February 25 in the United States and Canada. International rollout will, as usual, be revealed at a later date, but it never quite gets the coverage the domestic arrival to the platform does. The film was first given a limited release on December 13, and considering Sony Pictures ’s Saturday Night ’s limited release on September 27 was what brought it to Sony’s typical 120-day window for its films when it landed on Netflix on January 25 despite a wide release on October 11, it’s clearly the best way to gauge speed. And for Paramount’s 2024 slate, it’s actually a pretty slow 74 days, as even Sonic the Hedgehog 3 demonstrated a week ago that everyone else tends to be around 60 days, with a few films going 53. Sonic 3  opened a week later on December 20 and arrived on February 18. September 5 ...

Lilith Returns! Bebe Neuwirth To Reprise Role in 'Frasier' Revival

Posted by on

 


When promoting his film Jesus Revolution last month, Frasier star Kelsey Grammer kept assuring that there would be some OG presence in the series's upcoming revival. This was despite previous regulars David Hyde Pierce declining and little word from Peri Gilpin or Jane Leeves. However, when Grammer came a-calling for Bebe Neuwirth to reprise as Crane's ex-wife Lilith Sternin, she responded.

Indeed, Neuwirth will be doing so, but, as is probably clear from being so distant from the casting news of the series regulars, it will be in a guest-starring capacity. The episode will apparently be about Freddy (played by Jack Cutmore-Scott)'s birthday party. Apparently, this will be the first time Lilith and Frasier see each other now that he's back in Boston. Now that he is, it seems Lilith is very unhappy that she'll have to "share" their son more again, even though Freddy is now headed to his mid-30s, or at least he's supposed to be. A bit odd, but that might have to do with the parenting style she took on. The fun party will apparently lead to a Lilith and Frasier "showdown for the ages".



As for who are series regulars on this revival besides Grammer and Cutmore-Scott, Nicholas Lyndhurst plays the boozy professor Alan Cornwall, Jess Salgueiro as Freddy's spontaneous and energetic roommate Eve, and Anders Keith as David Crane, Freddy's cousin and Frasier's nephew, Daphne and Niles's son. There's also Toks Olagundoye, playing Olivia, who is head of the psychology department at what is presumably Harvard since the show is Boston-set. 

Neuwirth debuted as Lilith during season 4 of Cheers, marrying Frasier in season 6, and and giving birth to Freddy in season 8. She finally became a series regular for the final two seasons. The marriage collapses in the latter, season 11, and reconciliation never came about. When Frasier moved out to Seattle for the original run of the spinoff, Lilith had primary custody of Freddy. She still managed to appear in twelve episodes, the last being "Guns 'N Neuroses" in season 11. Neuwirth was most recently seen as a regular in the HBO Max series Julia and heard in Adult Swim's Teenage Euthanasia. The revival of Frasier is still set for this year on Paramount+, where both the original series and the mother series are also streaming in full.
