<p id=”par-1_69″>Kelsey Grammer landed the role of<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/why-frasier-was-once-the-most-hated-character-on-television.html/”> Dr. Frasier Crane</a> in 1984. For the last 40 years, he has played the role of the high-class psychiatrist, off and on. Most recently, he reprised the role in 2023 in the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/frasier/”><em>Frasier</em> </a>reboot. While season 1 was a hit, a renewal for season 2 was not quick to come. The wait, however, is over. Fans will get to see a second season of the <em>Frasier </em>reboot. </p>

<p id=”par-2_49″>Season 1 of the <em>Frasier</em> revival wrapped in December 2023. Then there was silence. Fans of the reboot worried that Dr. Frasier Crane would not be returning to the streaming service. Those concerns were not needed. On Feb. 22, Paramount+ revealed that a second season of the reboot had been greenlit. </p>

<p id=”par-3_64″>Kelsey Grammer released a statement to <a target=”_blank” href=”https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/frasier-reboot-renewed-season-2-paramount-plus-1235902569/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Variety </a>regarding the renewal. The famed actor told the publication, “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.” In a previous chat with the publication, Grammer said that he was hoping for atleast 100 episodes of the reboot. </p>
<p id=”par-4_21″>Paramount+ has yet to announce when fans should expect to see season 2. Storyline information is being closely guarded, as well. </p>

<p id=”par-5_64″>While the renewal was just made public now, Kelsey Grammer was already planning ahead months ago. During an appearance on <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuDfLZi7OtY” rel=”noreferrer noopener”><em>The Kelly Clarkson Show</em></a> in January, Grammer said he was looking forward to a second season and already had ideas of who he’d like to see return to the series if it was renewed. He said his goal was to get Shelley Long to reprise her <em>Cheers</em> role. </p>

<p id=”par-6_43″>During the chat, Grammer explained that the entire existence of Dr. Frasier Crane was connected to Long’s character, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/kelsey-grammer-wants-shelley-long-back-for-frasier-reboot.html/”>Diane Chambers</a>. He said the former on-screen flames never got a proper or satisfying end. Bringing the character back for the reboot would facilitate that. </p>
<p id=”par-7_74″>Long appeared on <em>Cheers</em> for several seasons. While her character was important to the development of Frasier Crane, it was still a shock to hear Grammer suggest he’d like to work with her again. In previous interviews, Grammer revealed that Long disliked working with him on <em>Cheers</em>. There were even rumors that Grammer’s role in the series was expanded just to irritate Long. She has yet to comment whether she would be interested in reprising the role. </p>

<p id=”par-8_68″>While Grammer might want to see Long back for season 2 of the <em>Frasier</em> reboot, fans certainly have a different opinion. While no one would inherently mind seeing Frasier reconnect with his long-ago love, they are more invested in<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-original-frasier-reboot-idea-hinged-on-david-hyde-pierces-buy-in.html/”> the return of Dr. Niles Crane</a>, Frasier’s brother. Niles played a significant role in the original <em>Frasier, </em>Still<em>, </em>David Hyde Pierce, the actor who portrayed Niles, opted not to return for the reboot. </p>

Kelsey Grammer Insists ‘Frasier’ Reboot Is Honoring ‘Cheers’ Bar </a>

<p id=”par-9_81″>Pierce was busy with other projects and felt like there was nothing more to do with the character. He has repeatedly spoken on the topic and even suggested that the reboot is <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/david-hyde-pierce-thinks-frasier-reboot-didnt-need-him.html/”>better without him</a>. Fans feel differently, but it seems unlikely he’ll pop up, even for a cameo, anytime soon. Jane Leeves, who portrayed Daphne Moon in the original series, has not commented on whether she’d return for a cameo. Daphne was Martin Crane’s physical therapist turned Niles’ love interest. </p>
