In February 2023, actor Kelsey Grammer announced that there is officially a Frasier reboot in the works. As he explained, the series will kick off with Frasier Crane returning to Boston, Massachusetts, where his ex-wife and their son still live.
Grammer told Entertainment Tonight that Frasier Crane’s son is his primary motivation for making the move. “He’s going back to Boston because his son lives there,” he said. He also added that the show will honor the late John Mahoney, who played Frasier’s father, Martin Crane, and passed away in 2018.
