A spinoff of any sitcom is always risky, especially when there is a high standard to live up to. Frasier broke the mold by being as well received as its predecessor, Cheers. The titular bar was a place for a group of friends to meet and discuss their daily lives, bringing well-known stars such as Woody Harrelson and Rhea Perlman on the scene. As one of the bar-goers, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) brought a dry wit, which transferred well to his own show.Though its 11th season wrapped up in 2004, Frasier is back this year, airing on Paramount Plus starting October 12th. Among the cast will be some familiar faces, including Roz, and the series is set to honor the late John Mahoney. However, a new character (and new actor to American viewers) has picked up a key part in the show, bringing a new layer to what fans know of Frasier’s life.The series picks up years after where it last finished, with Frasier having moved back to Boston from Seattle, now retired from his profession. Another major change will be that Nicholas Lyndhurst is playing the part of Alan, a friend from Frasier’s days at college. As Grammer explained, having a true friend of Frasier’s in the show is a completely new concept. He did previously have his brother Niles, whom he had a connection with, which came from both being psychiatrists, but that also added a sense of rivalry. Then there was Martin (Frasier and Niles’ father), who could never understand either of his sons. He was somewhat distanced from their careers and had preferences that differed from theirs. As an example, enjoying professional sports didn’t match up with the choice of entertainment for Frasier and Niles, which was usually theater or opera.RELATED: Frasier Revival Synopsis Teases the Fate of the Cheers Bar, Reveals New DetailsRELATED: Frasier Crew Discuss How the Revival Honors the Original Series
