‘Frasier’ Revival Details: Teaser, Photos, and Premiere Date News

Frasier Reprisal Kelsey Grammer

What better way to introduce the revamped Frasier series than with a new take on the classic theme song. The short teaser featuring the new recording declares that Frasier has re-entered the building and confirms an October 12, 2023 premiere on Paramount+.

The streaming service also released a batch of photos from the 10-episode season.

The first two episodes arrive on October 12th, followed by new episodes on Thursdays. CBS will have a special airing of just episodes one and two on October 17, after an oversized episode of Big Brother.

Kelsey Grammer returns to lead the series as Frasier Crane. Joining him in the reprisal are 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 original series starred Grammer, Jane Leeves, David Hyde Pierce, Peri Gilpin, and John Mahoney. Season one premiered 30 years ago on September 16, 1993, and the show’s initial 11-season run wrapped up on May 13, 2004 with a two-part finale titled “Goodnight, Seattle.” During its 11 seasons, Frasier set the record for the most Emmy wins by a comedy series.

The reprisal’s behind-the-scenes team includes writers Chris Harris (How I Met Your Mother) and Joe Cristalli (Life in Pieces). Harris, Cristalli, Kelsey Grammer, Tom Russo, and Jordan McMahon executive produce. James Burrows (co-creator of Cheers and director of 33 episodes of Frasier) directed the first two episodes.

Paramount+ released this synopsis of the upcoming 12th season:

“Filmed in front of a live studio audience at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, 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!”
