As Frasier is set to return after 17 years – here’s where the cast is now

Kelsey Grammer is bringing his classic comedy Frasier back to our screens, 17 years after it ended, on streaming platform Paramount+.

The sitcom about an uptight psychiatrist and his family ran for 11 seasons from 1993 to 2004.

In a statement Kelsey said: ‘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.

‘I gleefully anticipate sharing the next chapter in the continuing journey of Dr. Frasier Crane.’

Fans were first introduced to Dr Crane in the sitcom Cheers in 1984 where he was a regular at the series’ focal bar. Frasier followed the titular character as he returned to his home town of Seattle.

The last episode of saw him leave for Chicago to be with his girlfriend Charlotte, played by Laura Linney.
