Frasier was filmed in front of a live studio audience at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. The new Frasier series follows Frasier Crane (Grammer) into his next act as he returns to Boston, the setting of the sitcom , where Grammar originated the character.
“The ethics of Frasier – the study of good, let’s say – was important to us,” Grammer told The Independent in June. “It seemed important to all the people that were involved in the original one, and it has remained important in the show today. Frasier has been my ministry, you could say … He’s trying to spread the good word, to put some love in the world – and tolerance, true tolerance. Those are powerful words, but most people use them to manipulate. I think tolerance is a beautiful, beautiful concept. Not particularly realized in behavior in our country, but still a good goal. This isn’t really a spin-off. It’s more of a third act, or fourth act. A spin-off of a spin-off.”
Frasier Reboot Cast
Joining Grammer in the Frasier reboot is a new cast of supporting characters. They include Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frasier’s son Freddy; Nicholas Lyndhurst as Frasier’s old college buddy and current 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.
Writers Chris Harris (How I Met Your Mother) and Joe Cristalli (Life in Pieces) developed the Frasier reboot and are executive producers with Grammer, Tom Russo, and Jordan McMahon. CBS Studios produces the series in association with Grammer’s Grammnet NH Productions. James Burrows — best known for his work as co-creator, executive producer, and director of Cheers, the original Frasier, Will & Grace, and Dear John — directed the Frasier reboot’s first two episodes. Paramount Global Content Distribution distributes Frasier outside Paramount+ markets.
