Frasier’s ex-wife is callin’ again.

Actress Bebe Neuwirth is pegged to reprise her role as Lilith, the ex-wife of Dr. Frasier Crane, in a reboot series coming soon to Paramount+ and starring Kelsey Grammer.

According to Deadline, the two characters will reunite at a birthday party for their son before beginning a classic war of words.

“What begins as a fun party with friends and family, inevitably becomes a Lilith-and-Frasier showdown for the ages!” the episode description reads.

Frasier and Lilith’s son, Frederick Crane, will be played by Jack Cutmore-Scott. The character was played by Trevor Einhorn in the original series, which ran for 262 episodes from 1993-2004 and netted 37 Emmy wins.

Nicholas Lyndhurst, Toks Olagundoye (“The Neighbors”), Jess Salgueiro (”The Boys”), and Anders Keith have also been announced as cast members.

The show is also expected to say “Goodnight, Seattle” and return to Boston, where Frasier and Lilith first appeared as bar regulars on “Cheers.”

The original “Frasier” was a spinoff of “Cheers” and followed the lives of Dr. Frasier Crane, a psychiatrist-turned-radio psychiatrist, and his close friends and relatives.

However, many characters and actors from the original series — including David Hyde Pierce’s Niles Crane, John Mahoney’s Marty Crane, Jane Leeves’ Daphne Moon and Peri Gilpin’s Roz Doyle — are not expected to return.

Mahoney died in 2018 at the age of 77.

“I’m really very excited about [the reboot], and we’ll certainly always honor the past. We have to honor the fact that John Mahoney died and that Martin is no longer with us. We’ll be dealing with that for sure,” Grammer told People last November.

The “Frasier” reboot is expected to arrive on Paramount+ sometime in 2023.
