It’s been about a year and a half since Paramount+ officially greenlit the long-awaited Frasier revival series—and we’re still waiting. Kelsey Grammer shared some exciting news in a recent interview and revealed that the series will most likely start shooting this fall.
The four-time Emmy-winning actor discussed the upcoming reboot in a recent appearance on The Talk, dropping hints about the show’s potential shooting date.
“There were some conversations about October, maybe a little later. I don’t know. There are a couple of other things coming up. We’ve developed a couple of other projects that look like they’re going to shoot first,” said Grammer.
The 67-year-old actor also confirmed they’re “in the final stages of the final script for the first episode” and that he’s so happy with the result that he cried while reading it. Grammer also added that he’s the key ingredient for the reboot because the show has always been called Frasier.
The original series premiered on NBC in 1993 and ran for 11 seasons. It was developed as a spinoff of the hit sitcom Cheers and it focused on Dr. Frasier Crane, who returns to his hometown of Seattle to work as a radio show host. The original series also starred Jane Leeves, David Hyde Pierce, Peri Gilpin, and Dan Butler, but they’ve yet to confirm their return in the revival.
