Two new faces have joined the cast of the Frasier revival coming to Paramount+.
Jack Cutmore-Scott (Deception (2018)) stars as Frederick "Freddy" Crane, the now grown son of Frasier (Kelsey Grammer). Nicholas Lyndhurst (New Tricks) has been cast as Frasier's new sidekick.
In the revival of the Frasier comedy series, psychologist and talk radio host Frasier Crane will live in a new city and face new challenges. No other details are known, but these additions to the cast provide clues about the direction of the series.
The following was revealed by Variety about Lyndhurst's role in the Paramount+ series:
"Lyndhurst (photo) will play Alan Cornwall, described as ‘Frasier’s old college buddy turned university professor. British, boozy and larger than life, Alan has an intellect on par with Frasier’s—if only he ever felt like using it. Alan’s mischievous streak might be just what Frasier could use to shake up his routine, while Frasier’s thoughtful guidance might help Alan find some of the direction he’s been missing in his own life."
Deadline message on Cutmore-Scott's role in the revival:
"Charming and handsome, Frasier’s son Freddy (Cutmore-Scott) is a nuanced combination of his father and grandfather. Years ago, Freddy rejected following in his father’s footsteps—dropping out of college to become a fireman—and he’s never looked back until now, when recent troubles have left him with no one to turn to in his life. If they can overcome past differences, Freddy and Frasier might finally have a chance to repair old wounds."
While the cast from the original series will not be returning full-time, they are expected to guest star. The revival has been ordered for ten episodes. A premiere date has not yet been set.
