“This is Dr. Frasier Crane. I’m listening.” How much do you love hearing those words from Kelsey Grammer? Yes, he’s back on the radio in Frasier Season 2, and the trailer offers a look at the Seattle-themed episode.
Frasier returns on Paramount+ on Thursday, September 19, with two episodes. The rest of the season will drop weekly. The revival sees Frasier in the next chapter of his life after he returns to Boston to face new challenges, forge new relationships, and—with hope— finally fulfill an old dream or two. The aforementioned Seattle-themed episode will see him return to his radio roots at KACL.
And as the trailer shows, it’s so good to have him back there. The new video offers a look at some of the comedic moments to come back in Boston as well. There’s surely fun to be had at whatever gathering is going on at Frasier’s apartment, there’s an 18 lb. expensive ham, and more. Plus, Olivia (Toks Olagundoye) seems ready to join a girls night, admitting, “Haven’t had one of those in a while. it’s usually just me and those two grumpy Muppets over there.” Watch the trailer above.

As for what brings Frasier back to Seattle, he “feels like he has some unfinished business there,” executive producer Joe Cristalli previously told TV Insider. “We knew we wanted to see Gil [Edward Hibbert], ‘Bulldog’ [Dan Butler], and Roz [Peri Gilpin]. We wanted to find an organic reason for him to go to Seattle and see McGinty’s again. He’s there to help Roz with a tribute special to [radio station] KACL.”
