Frasier Season 2 Premiere Set for September 19
Paramount+ today announced that season two of its Emmy-nominated new original comedy series Frasier, starring Kelsey Grammer, will premiere on Thursday, September 19, with two episodes. New episodes will then drop weekly on Thursdays, exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Canada.
The series will premiere in the U.K. and Australia on September 20, and its availability in additional international Paramount+ markets will be announced later.
Also announced today is that during Frasier‘s sophomore season, Dr. Frasier Crane will 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.
Earlier this morning season one of Frasier received three primetime Emmy nominations: Outstanding Production Design For A Narrative Program (Half-Hour); Outstanding Cinematography For A Multi-Camera Series (Half-Hour); and Outstanding Picture Editing For A Multi-Camera Comedy Series.
Produced by CBS Studios, Frasier films 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 fulfill an old dream or two.
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 neighbor; and Anders Keith as Frasier’s nephew, David.
Peri Gilpin will return for season two as a recurring guest star to 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.
Frasier is written by Chris Harris (How I Met Your Mother) and Joe Cristalli (Life in Pieces), who executive produce with Grammer, Tom Russo, and Jordan McMahon. CBS Studios produces the series in association with Grammer’s Grammnet NH Productions.
Paramount Global Content Distribution distributes the series outside of the Paramount+ markets. Season one of Frasier is currently available to stream exclusively on Paramount+.
