Frasier sequel series casts two more young stars
Anders Keith and Jess Salgueiro are the latest performers to join Kelsey Grammar on the upcoming Paramount+ reboot
Aux News Frasier
Two new faces have joined the cast of the Paramount+ Frasier reboot first announced in 2021: The Boys actor Jess Salgueiro and newcomer Anders Kieth. Variety reports that the pair will join previously-announced cast members Kelsey Grammar, Nicholas Lyndhurst and Jack Cutmore-Scott.
In the follow-up, which has yet to receive a premiere date, Grammar reprises his role as the titular psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane. This series around, Frasier is working in a new city with a new collection of characters. British comic Lyndhurst will reportedly play an “old friend” of the doctor’s, while Cutmore-Scott joins the cast as a second lead: Frasier’s estranged firefighter son Freddy.
Salguiero, who had a brief but memorable turn as Hughie’s ill-fated partner Robin on The Boys, will star as Eve, Freddy’s roommate. Salguiero also has an upcoming role in the Godzilla series in the works at Apple TV+.
Per Variety, Eve is “spontaneous, outgoing and bursting with creative energy whether it was asked for or not. Eve is a breath of fresh air.” With an “innate ability” to connect with both Freddy and his dad, Eve makes a “critical bridge between father and son as they attempt to reconcile.”
Keith, meanwhile, will make his onscreen debut in the series. The young performer just graduated from Juilliard last year, and joins the cast as Frasier’s nephew David. The son of Niles and Daphne, David was born during the two-part series finale. Now, as an adult, the character is “an awkward college freshman with a penchant for off-kilter observations” that takes after his parents in three main ways: he has Niles’ “intelligence,” Daphne’s “smile,” and neither of their polish.
Although Grammar has long expressed excitement about a potential reboot, not all news fit to print from the set has been favorable. A recent report from RadarOnline.com alleges that the new “Z-list” series will have “no lavish sets” and “none of the beloved faces fans held dear.” However, the same report does share that Grammar—the only returning cast member—reinvigorates the character with the same “delicious one-liners that made him so famous to begin with.”

I was just watching some Down Periscope clips. That film is low-key gold!
So glad my mom is getting a reboot of the show that she routinely watches while doing something else on her tablet and then eventually falling asleep.A Frasier reboot might be the very definition of ‘Who asked for this?’
Yeeeaaaaah…no. Hard pass.
In the meantime, please enjoy this picture of Kelsey Grammar sitting on his nuts.
more like getting a rake to his nuts
Which end?
This sounds more and more like it will be the “Picard” of the “Cheers” IP.
Recall how the new version of Murphy Brown with the geezer actors coming back completely cratered? Get ready for a rerun.
Have you heard, Doogie’s going to be on HIMYF!
Atleast most of the cast actually returned for the reboot. They couldn’t even bother to find a cute Jack Russell terrier to play one of Eddie’s great great grandsons. Frasier could of taken in his dads dog after his passing. Not surprising since Grammer apparently hated Moose the dog who played Eddie.
Yeah, throw old people in the trash! Get them off my screen!
“Salguiero, who had a brief but memorable turn as Hughie’s ill-fated partner Robin on The Boys”
Heh. Yes, it certainly was, wasn’t it.
I know we’re all used to correcting people about the spelling of “grammar,” but this article goes the other way and spells Kelsey Grammer’s last name incorrectly at least six times.
It’s going to be strange seeing Nicholas Lyndhurston on the telly again.
He will always be Rodney to me…
Dave.
“Remember Cheers? Remember your least favorite character?”This was the intro to Mad Magazine’s Frasier parody and it’s stuck with me ever since.
I don’t remember Rebecca getting a spinoff.
I’m a big fan of the original series, but I have little hope that this will be any good. The chemistry between the original cast is what made Frasier work, I just can’t imagine them recreating that here. Having Freddy become essentially a young version of Martin also seems ill-advised.
Cutaneous tumors, among the most common in gerbils, are reported to arise almost exclusively from the sebaceous glands of the abdominal pad. Tumors of the abdominal pad are more frequently found in males and may have a predominantly sebaceous or squamous cell differentiation.
“Young Stars” no one cares. We want Niles.
