Bebe Neuwirth will reprise the role of Lilith, Frasier's ex-wife and mother of Freddy, who originally came from the hit NBC series Cheers. Peri Gilpin, who played Roz in the original Frasier, also returns.
Frasier is written by writers Chris Harris and Joe Cristalli, who co-produce the series with Kelsey Grammer, Tom Russo and Jordan McMahon. The series is produced by CBS Studios, in association with Grammer's Grammnet NH Productions.
