Summary

A new update about theFrasierreboot season 2 will further put down Niles Crane , but I think it ’s for the sound , considering David Hyde Pierce ’s stance on the show . The Paramount+ revival took years to get off the dry land , with Kelsey Grammer spearhead the endeavour . As much as I love the original show , I , too , was sceptical about the possibleness that the reboot would get made despite its predecessor ’s success . In the end , the reviews for theFrasierreboot season 1 were divisive , but I cogitate that some tweaks could make it better , hence why it deserve a second season .

Plot specifics for what comes next for Grammer ’s character continue to be tightly under wraps . The chief understanding forFrasier ’s move to Boston was to re - establish his kinship with his grown - up son , Freddy . Any sports fan of the original series know that it was an endeavor to mimic Frasier ’s own complicated family relationship with Martin in the original show . I believe that theFrasierreboot time of year 1 finalefully solved that . As the revival moves the character ’s final act in Boston forwards , time of year 2 will pull him back to his tooth root , which also effectively peril to put down Niles beyond stamping ground .

Based on how the Frasier reboot season 2 is shaping , Sam and Diane ’s cameos will belike have to look as it continues its Cheers discourtesy .

The Frasier Reboot Season 2 Will Return To Seattle

Frasier Has An Upcoming Fun KACL Function In His Hometown

After spending the whole ofFrasierreboot time of year 1 in Boston , Grammer ’s quality is already fructify to have some return in time of year 2 . Per the prescribed information from Paramount+ , one episode in the show ’s sophomore twelvemonth will be set in the Emerald City . Not much has been revealed about what the outing will be about , but it involvesFrasier reunify with his KACL Colorado - actor : Dan Butler ’s Bob " Bulldog " Briscoe and Edward Hibbert ’s Gil Chesterton , as well as , Harriet Sansom Harris ' eccentric agentive role Bebe Glazer . Peri Gilpin ’s Roz Doyle will also be present in the nostalgia - satiate oblation .

I am truly emotional for thisFrasierreboot time of year 2 episode , especially experience who ’s involved . However , it is n’t lose on me the entailment that this will have on Niles ' continued absence seizure from the show . One of the perks of Frasier ’s move to Boston is that it physically separates him from his brother and Daphne , who are both still ground in the Pacific Northwest . Since Frasier has n’t been back to Seattle throughout the revival ’s first year , Paramount+ was able to get aside with not featuring the younger Crane . However , it ’s extremely shady if Frasier comes back home and does not meet him .

The Frasier Reboot Season 2 Is Running Out Of Excuses To Explain Niles' Absence

Niles' Absence Is Detrimental To The Frasier Reboot’s Storytelling

I have coveredFrasierextensively forScreen Rant — both the old show and the unexampled one . My stance on Niles ' absence is clear — I hate it . Pierce ’s chemistry with Grammer was one of the reasons why the Seattle projection was successful . Beyond that , it ’s laughable that the Crane brother do n’t have the need to stay nigher together after losing their father . grant that Frasier spent the last span of decades in Chicago , but between the death of Martin and his gap - up with Claire , I would don Niles would be acute on being near him . Unfortunately , that is not the example .

Not having Niles in theFrasierreboot is such a shame , and based on what ’s known about season 2 , the Paramount+ series is adjudicate to recapture some of the best element of his character . Whether they come through is currently obscure . With the forthcoming Seattle - based instalment , theFrasierreboot is execute out of excuses about this . The fact that he already missed theChristmas - themed Frasierrevival season 1 ending although all of his family was in Boston was already a reaching . It would take a portion to convert me that the crane can not reunify in the Pacific Northwest this fourth dimension .

Kelsey Grammer had a clear program for the Paramount+ revitalization , but the Frasier reboot season 2 ’s exciting original cast updates acknowledge it failed .

Frasier Cutting Off Niles Is So Much Better For The Reboot’s Future

A Petty Crane Brother Fight Isn’t Anything New Anyway

The interesting matter is thatPierce never really changed his position on theFrasierrevival . Long before Paramount+ announce it , he had already made it clean that he was against the idea . He explained that he did n’t want to reprise his sure-enough performance and not be able-bodied to explore other projection , and also believe that there was no pauperism for it . There ’s also the idea that revisit the show risk ruining its otherwise unflawed legacy . Several years later , he assert his notion . As eager as I am to see Niles again , I fully understand where Pierce is coming from .

At this point , a come down - off between the Crane Brother sounds well rather than the revival being restrain by its storytelling but because it is unable to feature Niles .

So now , we ’re faced with a dilemma . Does theFrasierreboot continue to find ways to excuse Niles ' absence , or should they ascertain a way to in full deal the part ’s spot ? At this point , a falling - off between the Crane brothers sounds better rather than the revival being limited by its storytelling simply because it is ineffective to feature Niles . This path , the Paramount+ show can move on without constantly being haunted by the glaring void of Pierce ’s theatrical role . Nile River is n’t also paint as a bad brother for not even take the time to see Frasier in Boston .

Niles making a frowny face in Frasier

Aside from Frasier and Freddy , Niles and Daphne ’s Word , David is also based in Boston in theFrasierreboot .

I ’m not suggest that they go at it with each other . However , we all know that both Frasier and Niles can be super competitive and lilliputian with each other — something that the original show leaned on multiple times . A ridiculous fight that result in them not talking to each other can be a good reason for Niles ' continued absence seizure . SinceMartin is no longer around in theFrasierreboot to force them to conciliate , they can drag the issue on for as long as possible .

Will Niles Ever Appear In The Frasier Reboot?

It Will All Depend On Pierce’s Decision

For now , the chances that theFrasierreboot season 2will feature Niles are very slender to none . The well thing is , Pierce ’s lately said that he is no longer pit to being involved , just as long as it ’s only get to be for a particular one - off appearing . So , Grammer can add up up with a narrative about him visiting Boston , which is fair easy . If it ’s up to me , however , I would rather see him in a special Niles - themed episode and not mixed in with other cameo , simply because of how much he meant to the original show .
