Fresh images from *Frasier* showcase the reappearance of familiar faces and Dr. Crane’s return to KACL, among other developments. This Paramount+ sitcom is a revival of the beloved series, itself a spinoff from the classic comedy *Cheers*. In its second season, *Frasier* features Kelsey Grammer reprising his role as the retired radio talk show host and current Harvard lecturer, Dr. Frasier Crane. He is joined by the new core cast, including Jack Cutmore-Scott, Toks Olagundoye, Jess Salgueiro, Anders Keith, and Nicholas Lyndhurst.
*People* has unveiled a fresh gallery of first-look images from the second season of *Frasier*. These photos highlight various storylines, such as the introduction of Olivia’s (Olagundoye) sister, Monica (played by Yvette Nicole Brown), who appears to be dodging romantic advances from a new character portrayed by Rafael Cebrián.
Additional new personalities include the absent-minded therapist Doc Stathos (Amy Sedaris), seen sharing a laugh with Frasier, bartender Holly (Patricia Heaton), captured in a lighthearted moment with Frasier, and Alice Doyle (Greer Grammer), who might become a romantic interest for Frasier’s son, Freddy. She is depicted in an awkward scene with Frasier, played by her real-life father, Greer.
While the gallery introduces fresh characters, it also revisits nostalgic moments, such as Frasier reconnecting with Roz (Peri Gilpin), Bob “Bulldog” Briscoe (Dan Butler), and Bebe Glazer (Harriet Sansom Harris), who brings along her daughter, Phoebe (Rachel Bloom). Additionally, Frasier is shown in the recording studio at the KACL radio station in Seattle, a memorable setting from the original series. You can view the complete image gallery below:
What These Images Reveal About Frasier Season 2
The Sitcom Revival Balances the Old with the New
The return of well-loved characters from the original *Frasier* cast, coupled with scenes set in the iconic KACL, suggests that the new series is dedicated to tapping into nostalgia for the legendary sitcom, which aired on NBC for 11 seasons from 1993 to 2004. This aligns with the revival’s approach so far, which has featured several cameos in its first season, including appearances by Gilpin’s Roz and Bebe Neuwirth as Lilith Sternin.
The original *Frasier* spanned 264 episodes.
Simultaneously, the image gallery indicates the show’s commitment to advancing beyond the conclusion of season 1 by introducing new narratives, characters, and fresh concepts. The gallery is approximately evenly split between legacy characters and newcomers, showcasing many fresh actors from contemporary comedies like *Crazy Ex-Girlfriend*, *Community*, and *Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt*.
Our Take on the Frasier Season 2 Images
Frasier Boasts a Robust Cast of Characters
It seems improbable that *Frasier* would persist if Kelsey Grammer decided to exit the series. He embodies the lead role, a character who has been iconic for decades. Nonetheless, the show has invested significantly in developing the ensemble of new characters around Dr. Frasier Crane, as evidenced by this photo gallery. Consequently, even if the nostalgic elements begin to diminish, the show is well-positioned with a strong foundation to potentially continue for many more seasons.
*Frasier* season 2 debuts with two episodes on Paramount+ on September 19.
