What do we know about Paramount+'s Frasier?
According to Paramount+, the official synopsis of the show reads,
"This new series follows Frasier Crane in the next chapter of his life as he returns to Boston, Massachusetts, with new challenges to face, new relationships to forge, and an old dream or two to finally fulfill.
Executive producers of the show are Kelsey Grammer, Tom Russo, and Jordan McMahon. In a recent interview with The Independent, Grammer opened up about working on the upcoming show.
He said,
"I did a spin-off years ago that was considered a very successful spin-off. We were aware of those traditional pitfalls that people want to be careful about. This isn’t really a spin-off. It’s more of a third act, or fourth act. A spin-off of a spin-off. Frasier goes back to a world that we know him in, but on different terms. And that sets the stage."
Frasier will premiere on October 12, 2023, on Paramount+.
