The news that a Frasier reboot was in the pipeline was somewhat bittersweet for fans when no mention was made of the classic sitcom's supporting cast making a comeback.
But star of the show Kelsey Grammer has now backtracked on this, and revealed he's certain his co-stars will return.
Speaking to Collider, the actor, 66, who plays the titular Dr. Crane, said: 'We think we’re going to get most of the actors back, I’m certainly hopeful that we will, and I’m fairly confident that they’ll come back...
'We have a story to tell — that can actually be told with or without them, honestly — but I want them back because that’s what I always dreamed of.
'I thought we should explore all their lives in their third act, and so that is my hope.'
Many were left upset when David Hyde Pierce, who played Frasier's brother Niles, Jane Leeves, who played Niles' eventual wife Daphne, and Peri Gilpin, who played Frasier's producer Roz, were not mentioned in the announcement in February that Paramount+ had revived the iconic comedy. Yet four months later and it appears they have been coaxed back to the fold after all.
Kelsey also teased an air date, adding: 'We don’t actually have a date when we’re going to start filming. We’re still kind of breaking the story a little bit, we’re doing a polish now.
'When will we see a Frasier? Probably in the first quarter of next year...'

Cool!
Gosh,just what we need another reboot of the same people and the same show...How delightful that Hollywood recycles instead of coming up with new ideas.....
Compared to the emesis on TV now, Frasier will be welcome relief.
And let us keep in mind that Kelsey Grammer is a conservative.
TV so desperate for their lost viewers.
Try a full purge of the “woke”, including on the network news, and maybe . . . just maybe . . .
I always enjoyed the show, I’ll definitely give the reboot a shot.
Amen!
Oh Gee, I can’t wait to miss it.
What the heck is a Frazier reboot?
Yeah, my thoughts exactly 😁👍🏻. Frasier was one show that aged well; let’s hope they don’t eff it up with crazy modernity.
You know, something they could do that would absolutely blow my mind? First episode, on his radio show, do a tribute to Rush. MAN, could you imagine the head splodey that would happen in Libtardia? 👍🏻👍🏻
“Frasier” was a spin-off of “Cheers”. This would be a reunion show(s).
Hurrah! I’m sorry about Fraser’s dad.
His son? I don’t know what age he’d be, but on a show I watched last might, he’d gone goth.
One of the best written and acted sitcoms ever. Can be watched daily.
The only hiccup. Will it still be located in Seattle?
We just binged it last week. It is a very well written and acted show. The casting was superior. Recurring characters were great.
I love it - I still record the reruns.
Glad Niles will be part of it - the 2 of them together were just brilliant.
Of course, it’ll depend on the writers too.
