Paramount+ has revealed the official trailer and key art for the highly anticipated second season of its original comedy series Fraiser, starring Kelsey Grammer. Frasier Season 2 will premiere on Thursday, September 19, with two episodes.
New episodes will then drop weekly exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S., Canada, U.K., and Australia. The new season will launch later this year in additional territories where the service is available.
Produced by CBS Studios, Frasier follows Frasier Crane (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.
Frasier Season 2 will see Dr. Frasier Crane return to his radio roots at KACL in a Seattle-themed episode. The series is filmed in front of a live studio audience at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles.
In addition to Kelsey 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. Season one recently received three Primetime Emmy nominations and is currently available to stream exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, Latin America, Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
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.
