The "Frasier" reboot has arrived.
The 10-episode reboot follows Frasier Crane as he moves back to Boston and takes a job as a professor to reconnect with his son, who is hesitant to let him back into his life. In a video released by Paramount+, Kelsey Grammer called stepping back into Frasier's shoes an "incredible journey" while speaking with the studio audience prior to taping.
"I am very excited about what we're doing, this new group of people that you can fall in love with and get to know. We've been working so hard at this thing, and it's been quite a while. And I think we've done something quite lovely," Grammer told the audience, before getting emotional. "My love for this character is very sweet. I wish you this."
Here is what the cast of the original show has been up to since the show came to an end in 2004.
