Kelsey Grammer will be reprising his role as Frasier Crane in a reboot of Frasier for the upcoming streaming service Paramount+.

The reboot series has been in the works for years and now the series finally has a home!

“Having spent over 20 years of my creative life on the Paramount lot, both producing shows and performing in several, I’d like to congratulate Paramount+ on its entry into the streaming world,” Kelsey said in a statement (via THR). “I gleefully anticipate sharing the next chapter in the continuing journey of Dr. Frasier Crane.”

Kelsey has been playing Frasier for decades, first debuting as the character in 1984 on the beloved series Cheers. He then starred in the spinoff series Frasier on NBC for 11 seasons. He won four Emmys and three Golden Globes for his work on the show.

We can’t wait to reveal its next chapter on Paramount +.”
