I guess there are people who still love Frasier enough to want a reboot. That is why Paramount+ is making it happen.
However, I am sure they want more than just Kelsey Grammer in it. Unfortunately, it looks like they won’t be getting what they want.
The actor told WNBC’s Jacque Reid, “We’ve reached out to everybody, Roz and Niles and Daphne. And of course, you know, that John [Mahoney] is gone. We intend to deal with that some in the first episode.” Then he added, “It is my hope that everybody comes back. It always was my hope because it is a third act for everybody.
Maybe if he called Peri Gilpin, David Hyde Pierce, and Jane Leeves by their real names and not their character ones, they would be more willing to sign on.
I know Grammer doesn’t think he needs the supporting cast, but they were an ensemble, and it wasn’t just his show. As much as, I assume, he would like to think it was.
