‘Frasier‘ is back for more salad and scrambled eggs as Paramount+ announces a September premiere date for Season 2 (or Season 13, depending on how you’re counting!)
Produced by CBS Studios, season two of ‘Frasier’ was again filmed in front of a live studio audience at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. The series follows Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) in the next chapter of his life after he returns to Boston to face new challenges, forge new relationships and – with hope – finally fulfil an old dream or two.
The new season will see Dr. Frasier Crane return to his radio roots at KACL in Seattle for an episode. The episode will feature previously announced guest stars stepping back into their roles from the original Frasier including Dan Butler as Bob “Bulldog” Briscoe, Edward Hibbert as Gil Chesterton and Harriet Sansom Harris as Frasier’s delightfully devilish agent, Bebe Glazer.
In addition to Grammer, the series stars Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frasier’s son, Freddy; Nicholas Lyndhurst as Alan, Frasier’s old college buddy turned university professor; Toks Olagundoye as Olivia, Alan’s colleague and head of the university’s psychology department; Jess Salgueiro as Eve, Frasier and Freddy’s neighbour; and Anders Keith as Frasier’s nephew, David.
Peri Gilpin will return for season two as a recurring guest star to once again reprise the beloved role of Roz Doyle. Other previously announced guest stars include Rachel Bloom, Yvette Nicole Brown, Greer Grammer, Patricia Heaton and Amy Sedaris. Legendary director James Burrows also returns to direct two episodes.
The original ‘Frasier’ still holds the record for most Emmy wins for a comedy series with 37 wins and 107 nominations and just upped that number with today’s Emmy announcements, This morning, season one picked up three Emmy nods for Outstanding Production Design, Cinematography, and Picture Editing.
‘Frasier’ comes from writers Chris Harris (How I Met Your Mother) and Joe Cristalli (Life in Pieces), who executive produce with Grammer, Tom Russo and Jordan McMahon. The series is produced by CBS Studios in association with Grammer’s Grammnet NH Productions. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution outside of the Paramount+ markets.
‘Frasier‘ Season 2 (or 13) premieres Thursday, September 19, 2024 with two episodes on Paramount+ in the USA, then lands 20th September 2024 on Paramount+ UK.
