Frasier Crane is heading to Boston on a mission.
The upcoming Paramount+ Frasier reboot—with Kelsey Grammer reprising his role as Frasier—will take place in Boston, the same city where viewers were introduced to Frasier on Cheers way back in 1984.
Grammer—who played Frasier on Cheers from 1984 to 1993 before starring on his character’s titular spinoff from 1993 to 2004—revealed on Today Feb. 15 that “we’ve shot two already,” and he explained why Frasier is returning to Beantown after all these years.
“Frasier is going back to Boston to put himself back in a place where he didn’t feel like he had quite made it, where he left with his tail between his legs a little bit,” Grammer told hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager. “He wants to feel like he’s conquered it again. He had such high hopes for Boston in his life. Fell in love, fell in love again, got divorced, had a child.”
Grammer continued, “There’s a lot going on in his life now. It’s pointing him back home.”
