The ‘Frasier’ reboot trailer is out! See the beloved psychiatrist take on Boston
Frasier Crane's Seattle days are officially behind him.
In the first trailer for the “Frasier” reboot, the psychiatrist is seen after moving across the country from Seattle to Boston to be closer to his son, who has been avoiding spending time with him.
The roughly 90-second trailer pays homage to the original sitcom with Frasier's intellectual verbosity while launching a new chapter for the beloved character as a university professor looking to reconnect with his son.
"What is it about the city of Boston that leads me to forego the most sophisticated temptation of the fermented grape," Frasier says in the trailer. "Sitting here with a cold brew in my hand, I feel amalgamated with the hoi polloi."
The reboot of the acclaimed sitcom "Frasier" is set to air in October, Paramount+ announced Aug. 22, teasing what viewers can expect with first look photos, a release date and casting details.
"The new series follows Dr. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) in the next chapter of his life as he returns to Boston with new challenges to face, new relationships to forge and an old dream or two to finally fulfill," the press release said. "Frasier has re-entered the building!"
Sept. 16 marks the 30th anniversary of when "Frasier" first premiered, and the 11-season sitcom holds the record for most Emmy wins for a comedy series at 37 wins and 107 nominations.

Which original cast members are in the 'Frasier' reboot?
The press release listed Grammer as the only original cast member returning. But TODAY previously reported that Peri Gilpin will return as Roz Doyle and Bebe Neuwirth will reprise her role as Lilith.
"Niles (Crane) and Daphne (Moon) are not coming back," Grammer told TODAY in February of the series' couple played by David Hyde Pierce and Jane Leeves. "If there is a spot for a one-off appearance, and they're interested, I'm sure we would do something like that. But it's a new world. It's a new life. Frasier's going back to Boston to put himself back in a place where he didn't feel like he quite made it."
"He wants to feel like he conquered it again," Grammer said of his character.
Who else is starring in the 'Frasier' reboot?
Jack Cutmore-Scott, known for starring in "Deception," plays Frasier's son, Freddy. Nicholas Lyndhurst, who starred in "Only Fools and Horses," plays Frasier's friend from college, Alan, who is a college professor.
