'Frasier' Revival Season 2 Premiere Date Set

 


Paramount+ is calling again, and so is Seattle. At least for a visit. The streamer has announced that Frasier’s second revival season and thirteenth overall will premiere on September 19 in the United States and Canada. Like last year’s grand return, two episodes will kick off the season and be followed weekly by singles each Thursday.

The new season hasn’t had any general synopsis released yet, but the nature of previously-announced return appearances for original series stars Dan Butler as Bob “Bulldog” Briscoe, Edward Hibbert as Gil Chesterton and Harriet Sansom Harris as Frasier (played by Kelsey Grammer)’s delightfully devilish agent, Bebe Glazer has. It seems they’re not headed to Boston after all, it’ll Dr. Crane doing the visiting, returning to his old KACL stomping grounds in Seattle. At least for that episode. Both the announcement of the premiere date and the premiere date itself are several weeks earlier than for the first season, which was August and October respectively last year.

Every series regular from the revival’s first season returns for this, including Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frasier’s son Freddy and Toks Olagundoye as Olivia, Harvard’s head of the psychology department, Frasier’s Harvard-attending nephew (and Freddy’s cousin) David, played by Anders Keith, Alan, played by Nicholas Lyndhurst, an old Oxford buddy who persuades him to stay in town and become a Harvard psychology instructor, and Jess Salgueiro as Freddy’s friend Eve, a single mom who becomes his ex-roommate when Frasier poaches him from across the hall. Wednesday morning saw the show receive three primetime Emmy nominations: Outstanding Production Design For A Narrative Program (Half-Hour), Outstanding Cinematography For A Multi-Camera Series (Half-Hour) and Outstanding Picture Editing For A Multi-Camera Comedy Series. TVLine and Deadline have already called the lack of recognition for Kelsey Grammer’s portrayal of Crane for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series a snub.

Peri Gilpin has moved into recurring this season following a guest appearance in the first season finale as Frasier’s closest Seattle friend and colleague Roz Doyle. Kelsey Grammer’s actual daughter Greer Grammer has assumed the role Roz’s daughter Alice. New characters for season 2 include Rachel Bloom as Bebe’s daughter Phoebe, who has “inherited her mother’s indomitable charm”, and “boasts a magnetic personality as well as a taste for the finer things”, Amy Sedaris as Dr. “Doc” Stathos, “a municipal therapist with a down home, scattered veneer” who works with the firefighters at Freddy’s firehouse and a fan of Frasier from his talk show days, Yvette Nicole Brown as Olivia’s sister Monica, and Patricia Heaton as bartender Holly. The season’s executive producers are showrunners Chris Harris and Joe Cristalli, as well as Kelsey Grammer, Tom Russo and Jordan McMahon. The producing studio is CBS Studios in association with Grammer’s Grammnet NH Productions.
