‘Frasier’ reboot renewed for second season on Paramount+
Paramount+ has renewed the rebooted Frasier series for a second season.The series follows Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) – a character originated from NBC’s Cheers – as he moves from Seattle to Boston to reconnect with his firefighter son (Jack Cutmore-Scott) and take a new new job at Harvard.Given the popularity of the original series, many fans were skeptical about the reboot, but it proved to be a surprise hit among viewers and critics alike.“Frasier is a love story, and I am very happy we will be allowed to continue it. I’m delighted that our partners at CBS Studios and Paramount+ are on board for another season, and I can’t wait for the fans to see what we have in store!” Grammer said in a statement (via Deadline).Alongside Grammer and Cutmore-Scott, the new series also stars Nicholas Lyndhurst as Alan, Frasier’s old college friend turned university professor; Toks Olagundoye as Olivia, Alan’s colleague and head of the university’s psychology department; Jess Salgueiro as Eve, Freddy’s roommate; and Anders Keith as David, Frasier’s nephew.Season one also featured guest appearances from original series cast members, including Bebe Neuwirth as Frasier’s ex-wife Lilith, and Peri Gilpin as his close friend and former colleague Roz.One key character who didn’t make an appearance in the reboot is Frasier’s brother Niles (David Hyde Pierce), and it appears he is also unlikely to feature in the second season.In December, the actor explained that he turned down the offer to return in an earlier iteration of the revival (which would have seen him and Frasier running a theatre) because he didn’t want to commit to another long series.

‘Frasier’ theme song: lyrics, meaning and more
Frasier has received the reboot treatment in a sequel series on Paramount+.Created by Chris Harris and Joe Cristalli, the revival series picks up as Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) moves back to Boston – the setting where the character was originally introduced in Cheers before he received his own spin-off, Frasier, set in Seattle.While some veteran cast members make guest appearances, the revival series largely features a new ensemble, including Nicholas Lyndhurst as university professor Alan, Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frasier’s son Freddy, Anders Keith as Frasier’s nephew David, Jess Salgueiro as Freddy’s roommate Eve and Toks Olagundoye as Olivia.For the reboot, Grammer sings a re-recorded version of the show’s classic theme song ‘Tossed Salads And Scrambled Eggs’ – check it out above.While the recording has changed, the lyrics have stayed the same: “Hey baby, I hear the blues are calling/ Tossed salads and scrambled eggs/ And maybe I seem a bit confused/ Yeah maybe, but I got you pegged/ But I don’t know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs”.The theme song originally acted as a reference to Frasier’s job as a radio psychiatrist, with lines like “the blues are calling” referring to callers on his show.The meaning behind the song was revealed on former Frasier writer Ken Levine’s blog, where he interviewed the song’s composer, Bruce Miller.
