Paramount+’s Frasier season 2: Which cast members are returning and who are the new actors?

On June 11, 2024By Vaseline

The Frasier revival is officially returning for season 2, and those who haven’t watched the series with a Paramount+ subscription are missing out. The comedy thrived during its first season as one of the better television revivals in recent memory, and it looks like it will prove this again in season 2 with a returning cast and some fresh faces.

Does anyone else hear that? I think the blues are calling, and now I’m really craving some mixed salad and scrambled eggs. For those who are confused, I’ll stop trying to fit the rest of the outro song into the intro and talk about who we can all expect to return and debut. Fraiser Season 2.

Which stars are returning from previous seasons?

Kelsey Grammer

It’s probably no surprise that Kelsey Grammer, after a successful return to television, will take on the role of Dr. Frasier Crane will continue to star in season 2 of the revival. A new season with him in Boston means more opportunities for the cheers cast to appear, although we haven’t received final word yet that this will happen.

Jack Cutmore Scott

Jack Cutmore-Scott will continue his role as Freddy Crane Frasier and will probably still try to play the good son and friend between Frasier and Eve, which wasn’t so easy in the first season. Of course, crane operators rarely back down from a challenge, so I imagine he’ll try just as hard to appease both as we head into the new season.

Jess Salgueiro

Jess Salgueiro’s Eve is back for Frasier, and I’d love to see her continue to play matchmaker for Frasier and Freddy in future episodes. I believe the original series was at its best when Frasier was involved in some romantic drama, and even more so when it didn’t work out. Of course, there are other things that Eve brings to the table, and it would be great to see her continue to grow as a character alongside John.

Anders Keith

Now that Niles and Daphne are out Frasier In a revival, the responsibility for continuing the characters’ legacy rests squarely on the shoulders of actor Anders Keith. Fortunately, playing their son David Crane seemed simple enough for the actor, who will return in the new season to showcase his mother and father’s best qualities in Season 2.

Nicholas Lyndhurst

Frasier’s old classmate returns in season 2 of the Paramount+ series, and I love it. From the moment I first heard about Alan Cornwall on the series, I thought he was a great sidekick for the character, especially in a world where David Hyde Pierce will never return to play Niles. He killed it in the role, and I definitely think there’s a reason the show will use him more in the coming season.

Toks Olagundoye

Toks Olagundoye returns in season 2, of course in the role of Olivia, the head of Harvard’s psychology department. In season 2, Olivia’s sister Monica finally appears, after hearing so much about her. I would expect that storyline to play out and her to maybe even have more fun at trivia nights.

Peri Gilpin

Classic Frasier star Peri Gilpin starred as Roz in the original series, so it was great to see her performance in the season 1 finale of the revival. It has been announced that she will be back in a larger capacity for season 2, although we’re not sure how many episodes that means. However, we do know that her daughter will be appearing this season, so I expect to see her in at least a few episodes.

Jimmy Dunn

Jimmy Dunn, who played Moose in season 1 of the series Frasier revival, will return as one of Freddy’s firefighter buddies in season 2. What’s interesting about his return is that there seemed to be a budding romance between him and Olivia at the end of season 1, so I’m curious to see if that develops further in the upcoming episodes.

Renee Pezzotta

Renée Pezzotta is back Frasier, and while she didn’t have a major role in Season 1, she was always able to get a laugh during the Freddy’s firehouse scenes. Her working-class charm and jokes will liven up the new season and get a few chuckles from the audience, too.

Kevin Daniels

Kevin Daniels shined with his hilariously ironic nickname “Tiny,” and he will continue to do so in Season 2 of Frasier. Having all the firefighter friends is a must for the series, as they all portray the heart of Boston culture in a way that the title character often ignores. I can’t wait to see what they all get up to next season.

Which stars are new in season 2?

Patricia Heton

Patricia Heaton can’t stay away from sitcoms, and the former star of Everyone loves Raymond coming in season 2 of Frasier as Holly. Deadline reported that Holly is a bartender who likes to prank intellectuals, so of course Frasier will be absolutely in love with her. Whether the love interest will return his affection is another story, and once we’ll probably see it happen in season 2. Heaton and Grammer previously worked together on the short-lived sitcom Back to you.

Yvette Nicole Brown

I smell another iconic Yvette Nicole Brown performance on the horizon, and can’t wait to see her when she joins the cast of Season 2 of Frasier. Although it’s only a guest star, it sounds like it will be meaningful, as Variety reported that she’ll be playing Monica, Olivia’s older sister. Monica was referenced a lot in season 1, but this will be the first time we see her. Considering Brown’s comedic qualities, I’m sure she won’t disappoint.

Amy Sedaris

Amy Sedaris shows up Frasier Season 2 in the role of Dr. Doc Stathos. Variety said that the doctor is a therapist who works in the fire department, and that she is also a big fan of Frasier. She was an avid viewer of his television show, so I would expect them to have an encounter where she is a super fan and possibly becomes a thorn in the title character’s side. On the other hand, Frasier strikes me as the type of person who could spoil a superfan until he’s in over his head with no way out. I guess we’ll see!

Greer Grammer

New to the Frasier Reviving in Season 2 is Kelsey Grammer’s real-life daughter, Greer. While her father may have had a hand in her joining the show, it’s worth noting that Grammer has a pretty solid list of television and film appearances since 2010. In this series she plays Roz’s daughter Alice, which could indicate that we will see more of Roz this season than the last. It also seems like she’s playing a love interest for Freddy, which will no doubt complicate things for him.

Season 2 of the Frasier There’s a revival on the way, which means now’s a great time to watch Season 1 on Paramount+. CinemaBlend will continue to monitor updates on the series as it gets closer to release, and hopefully figure out what to do with the tossed salad and scrambled eggs in the meantime.
