Possible Cast of the Frasier’s Reboot
In the year 2020, the main leads of the original Frasier series appeared in a show virtually in June. They came there to collect funds for the affected people who lost everything because of the Covid-19 pandemic. During that fundraising show, the star cast was asked about the Frasier revival, but none of them answered the questions.
And during the 25th-anniversary celebration of the original series, Kelsey Grammer said that he would not join the show unless the Co-Stars joined. The original show contained Kelsey Grammer, David Hyde Pierce ( played Frasier’s brother Niles), Jane Leeves, Peri Gilpin ( played Frasier’s producer role ), and John Mahoney ( played Frasier and Niles’s father role ) as the main cast.
Kelsey Grammer is confirmed in the reboot, but the other cast is not revealed yet. One of the lead actors, the late John Mahoney, who played Frasier’s dad role, died in 2018—leading to his exemption from the reboot.
