'Fraiser' Scores Season 2 Renewal: Get All the Details
Kelsey Grammer will return for Season 2 of Frasier.
Paramount is listening! Fans of the Frasier reboot got the news they've been waiting to hear: The series will be back for Season 2 on Paramount+.
The Season 2 renewal isn't surprising. The Frasier reboot was a hit with fans who had been leery of another retread of an iconic series—especially with only one member of the original cast returning.
But boy, did they pick a winner with Frasier, which received 107 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, with 37 wins, in its original 11 seasons on NBC.
“Frasier is a love story, and I am very happy we will be allowed to continue it. I’m delighted that our partners at CBS Studios and Paramount+ are on board for another season, and I can’t wait for the fans to see what we have in store,” said Kelsey Grammer, when the renewal was announced.
Here's everything we know so far:
When does Frasier Season 2 premiere?
News of Frasier's Season 2 renewal was just announced so it's too early for a premiere date. Season 1 of the Frasier reboot premiered in October 2023. With only 10 episodes per season it's possible season 2 will arrive in Fall 2024.
How and where to watch Frasier Season 2
The new Frasier reboot is streaming exclusively on Paramount+.
Is there a trailer for Season 2 of the Frasier reboot?
Not yet. Season 2 of the Frasier reboot was just announced on Feb. 22 so it's a bit too early for a trailer.

Jack Cutmore-Scott
Jack Cutmore-Scott stars as Freddy Crane, Frasier's son, who shunned academia to work as a firefighter.
Nicholas Lyndhurst
Nicholas Lyndhurst stars as Alan, Frasier Crane's college buddy turned university professor. He previously starred with Kelsey Grammer in a London production of The Man From La Mancha.
Toks Olagundoye
Toks Olagundoye stars as Olivia, head of the university's psychology department. She recruited Frasier to Harvard to boost interest in her department—and try to one-up her competitive sister at Yale.
Jess Salguerio
Jess Salguerio is Freddy's roommate turned neighbor. Her character Eve is described as “spontaneous, outgoing and bursting with creative energy whether it was asked for or not. With an innate ability to connect with both Frasier and Freddy, Eve is a critical bridge between father and son as they attempt to reconcile.”
Anders Keith
Anders Keith stars as Frasier's nephew, David, the awkward son of Niles Crane and Daphne Moon. "Frasier’s nephew David has Niles’ intelligence, Daphne’s smile, and neither of their polish. David’s unearned confidence may confuse some, but Frasier has a fondness for his nephew’s earnest enthusiasm.”
Peri Gilpin as Roz Doyle
Frasier's longtime producer Roz Doyle returned for one episode of Season 1—sadly as a guest star and not a series regular. No word yet on whether she'll return for Season 2.
Bebe Neuwirth as Lilith
Bebe Neuwirth reprised her role as Frasier Crane's ex-wife, the cold-as-ice Lilith, but not as a series regular. In Season 1, Lilith showed up at Freddy's birthday party and went head to head with Frasier in a competition for their son's attention. A classic Lilith-and-Frasier showdown. No word yet on whether she'll return for Season 2.
Will David Hyde Pierce return to Frasier?
David Hyde Pierce's Niles skipped Season 1 of the Frasier reboot. No word yet on whether he'll join the cast in Season 2 although the door appears to be open.
“If he wants to come back, it'd be great,” Grammer told Parade on the SCAD red carpet in early February. "Maybe we'll find a spot that would make him feel comfortable, as his son's on the show, you know…it would make sense that [Niles and Daphne, played by Jane Leeves] would visit. It'd be really exciting. It'd be fun to have them come around.”

Will any original Frasier cast members return for Season 2?
John Mahoney (Martin Crane)
Sadly, John Mahoney died at age 77 on Feb. 4, 2018, so, obviously, he will not take part in season 2 of the reboot.

Jane Leeves (Daphne Moon)
As David's mother and Niles' wife, Daphne could come visit her son and the Crane clan in Boston. Leeves may have time in her schedule. She just wrapped up her role as Kit on The Resident when the series ended after six seasons.
How many episodes are there of Frasier?
Season 1 of the Frasier reboot is 10 episodes. We expect the same number for Season 2. Ready to catch up on the original Frasier that aired from 1993-2004? You'll have plenty to binge: 262 episodes to be exact.
How did the original Frasier end?
The series finale brought several storylines to their conclusion. Daphne and Miles married and had a baby, Martin and Ronee also wed, Roz was promoted to station manager at KACL, and Frasier decided to take a new job offer at a TV station in San Francisco. But then in a twist, we saw him get off the plane in Chicago, where his girlfriend Charlotte had moved.
