The Independent has contacted CBS Studios for comment. The series also stars Anders Keith as Frasier’s nephew David, Jess Salgueiro as Freddie’s roommate Jess, Toks Olagundoye as Olivia, the head of Harvard’s psychology department, and Only Fools and Horses star Nicholas Lyndhurst as Alan, an old friend of Frasier’s who also teaches at the university.
“David basically decided he wasn’t really interested in repeating the performance of Niles,” Grammer said at the time. Hyde Pierce said that other work commitments, including the US series Julia, confirmed his decision, stating: “When we got into real talks about the reboot, I had just started on Julia and was working on a musical and going to do another musical. I just thought, ‘I don’t want to be committed to a show and not be able to do stuff like this.’”.
He also said he thought “they don’t actually need me” as “Frasier has moved on to a new world”. “They have new characters. And I think I’m right. It’s doing great. And the new people they have are great.”. “The new Frasier seems almost cluelessly dated at points, like a somehow-even-less-hip progeny of The Big Bang Theory. And yet, despite its fusty atavism, there’s something spiriting about seeing a series like this get made in 2023,” he wrote.
