Kelsey Grammar Confirms That Frasier Revival Finally Has a Script

Kelsey Grammar confirmed that the Frasier revival has a script in place. The 64-year-old actor plays the lead title character, Frasier Crane, in the popular comedy series. He’s been teasing the return of the sitcom ever since 2018. Now, the star is revealing that a script is finally finished. He spoke to Lorraine on the Oscars red carpet on Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre on Sunday, Feb. 9, as reported by FOX 28. That’s when Kelsey was asked about the possibility of a Frasier revival.

“Well, we’ve got a couple of TV things coming up,” Kelsey admitted. “A possible ‘Frasier’ reboot. We’re getting a script now and we’ve pitched the idea, we’re putting out there.”

Frasier was introduced following the success of Cheers. He moved from Boston to his hometown of Seattle to embark on a new life. In the series, Frasier worked as a radio host. The comedy ran for 11 seasons from 1993 to 2004. It went on to receive critical acclaim and to become one of the most important comedies of our time. Frasier is as popular as Friends and Seinfeld. And fans have been hoping for a revival or reboot of this series.

Kelsey was worried about working on the revival. He didn’t know if the new series would live up to the expectations of fans. The actor wanted to make sure that he was satisfied with the script before the show came into fruition. However, the Frasier revival is in the pre-production phase. There hasn’t been an announcement on casting or a premiere date. During the interview, Kelsey was asked whether he had any doubts about the revival series.

“That was a big part of it,” he admitted. “It’s been a couple of years in the process, but I’m very, very pleased.”

He revealed that the new series will “deal with” the death of actor John Mahoney, who played his on-screen father, Martin.

“The first principle is that it is a different story, basically,” Kelsey said. “Same group of characters but in a different setting. Something has changed in their lives. Certainly, John Mahoney died over a year ago and we would probably deal with a little bit, with dad being gone.”
