Frasier
Summary
The trajectory detailed in Kelsey Grammer ’s vision for theFrasierreboot only makes David Hyde Pierce ’s absence seizure as Niles so much worse . While its first season have off to a divisive and rocky start on Paramount+ the serial end impregnable , highlighting a crackling chemical science between Frasier , now a guest lecturer at Harvard , his firefighter son Frederick ( Jack Cutmore - Scott ) , and the rest of their fellow and friends . Even the arguably Niles - like stand - in David ( Anders Keith ) , sweep up myriad traits of both his father and Daphne , managed to find his ecological niche at the ending ofFrasier’sten episodes .
But Niles ' son pass over the germs off a chair is n’t a replacement for Niles doing the same affair , and it ’s still hard for fans to get used to Frasier ’s fastidious piddling sidekick not harangue him in the Radclyffe Hall of Harvard while he scrutinizes his son ’s scholastic endeavors . All of Niles ' typical jape at Frasier ’s expense have been given to Frasier ’s fellow prof , Alan ( Nicholas Lyndhurst ) who , while a loveable curmudgeon , also comes across as Niles - light . Grammer ’s overall plan for his revival meeting will have to overcome the genre ’s typical hurdles if theFrasierreboot sire a time of year 2 , all whilerecognizing the Niles - sized elephant in the room .
Frasier’s Reboot Running For Years Will Make Niles' Absence Harder To Take
TheFrasierreboot managed to combine pieces of Frasier ’s past while build him a succeeding fans could invest in , buoyed by a new shape of characters and a few cameo from the old pack . While it ’s been order that it could have a menage at Paramount+ for many more years , if the show continues for several seasons with no sign of Niles , any sudden appearing from him will be harder to explicate afterwards on . There would have to be a fairly safe reason for him to stick out of the impression for so long , particularly without visiting his son .
David Hyde Pierce could decide to look in an episode in season 2 , much like Kim Cattrall did inAnd Just Like That … ,Sex and the City’srevival that lacked the biting humor of Samantha Jones since its premiere . While it was gravid to see Cattrall return , she had less than a minute of covert prison term and did n’t partake in any scenes with Sarah Jessica Parker or any of the main hurl , resulting in the whole human body up falling flat . TheFrasierwriters would need tohonor Nile in a way that did justice to the legacy characterand did n’t feel forced .
Will David Hyde Pierce Ever Return As Niles In Frasier’s Reboot?
While there has been speculation surrounding the return of David Hyde Pierce to the witty Earth ofFrasiersince before the reboot began filming , late update have stymied most rooter ' hope . speak toVariety , he explained that with all the Modern eccentric , and contribute that"Frasier has moved on to a new world,“he was n’t needed anymore . On top of his own impression that Niles would n’t fit the mold of the reboot , he had"just started on the ' Julia ' TV show and was working on a musical,“so being"committed to a show"and deprived of theagency to take on other project did n’t invoke to the in - demand role player .
Grammer toldScreen Rantthat,“we’ll see what go on . We can certainly write to it,“which is promising , but not have Niles inFrasierhas already allow the revival to take new , unexpected paths . If David Hyde Pierce ’s jam-packed schedule lessens in a yr or two , and the reboot remains successful , he may devise an angle to interject Nile River into the melee . After all , what fans did n’t take hold their breath when the doorbell rang in with Freddie ’s gift in episode 10 , hoping against hope that it might be a foggy - eyed Niles , storm to take a red - oculus flight just to gloat at , and then afterwards dispel Frasier ’s Yuletide miserableness .
