‘Frasier’ Revival Season 2 Trailer Heads Back to Seattle’s KACL
Kelsey Grammer’s Dr. Frasier Crane is going back to his radio roots in a new trailer for the second season of the Paramount+ revival of the long-running NBC sitcom. It was previously revealed that the season would feature a Seattle-themed episode in which Frasier returns to KACL.
“This is Dr. Frasier Crane. I’m listening,” Grammer says in the trailer as he sits down in his old seat at the radio station with his friend and former producer Roz Doyle (Peri Gilpin) back in the booth.
He is later greeted by Bob “Bulldog” Briscoe (Dan Butler), who asks, “Is this your son?” as he meets Freddy (Jack Cutmore-Scott), who replies “I used to listen to your show all the time as a kid, big sports fan.” Bulldog proceeds to look at Frasier and quip, “So not your son.”
The series, which will return on Sept. 19 with its first two episodes, follows 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.
In addition to Grammer and Cutmore-Scott, the show stars Nicholas Lyndhurst as Alan, Frasier’s old college buddy turned university professor; Toks Olagundoye as Olivia, Alan’s colleague and head of the university’s psychology department; Jess Salgueiro as Eve, Frasier and Freddy’s neighbor; and Anders Keith as Frasier’s nephew, David.
Apart from the return to KACL, the trailer features the main cast getting into various hijinx, including Alan and Frasier swapping out Eve’s son John for wine, and Eve and David eating the pair’s 18-pound Jamón Ibérico.
In addition to Gilpin and Butler, Season 2 guest stars include Edward Hibbert, who returns as Gil Chesterton, Harriet Sansom Harris, who returns as agent Bebe Glazer, Patricia Heaton, who will portray Holly, a Boston native who tends bar at upscale restaurants and events, as well as Yvette Nicole Brown, Greer Grammer, Rachel Bloom and Amy Sedaris.
“Frasier” comes from writers Chris Harris (“How I Met Your Mother”) and Joe Cristalli (“Life in Pieces”), who executive produce with Grammer, Tom Russo and Jordan McMahon. Legendary director James Burrows will return to direct two episodes.
The series, which is filmed in front of a live studio audience at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, is produced by CBS Studios in association with Grammer’s Grammnet NH Productions.
Following the premiere, new episodes will drop weekly on Paramount+ in the U.S., Canada, U.K. and Australia. The new season will launch later this year in additional territories where the service is available.

WEST SEATTLE WEATHER: Warm day, but far below record
Thanks to Carrie Brown for the westward view of our Saturday night sunset. The high today hit 68 at the airport – eight degrees above normal – but nowhere near the record for this date, which was 89 degrees back in 2016. The forecast suggests two more days of partly sunny, almost-70-degree weather, before the chance of rain returns.

Mets place former Seattle Mariners 2B/DH Jorge Polanco on IL
CHICAGO (AP) — The struggling New York Mets placed former Seattle Mariners second baseman/designated hitter Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right wrist contusion.
Mariners Injury Update: Latest on Robles, Vargas and more
The move was made retroactive to Wednesday, a day after Polanco went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in a 2-1 loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 32-year-old Polanco is batting .179 (10 for 56) with a homer and two RBIs in his first season with New York, which has lost nine straight.
“When doctors first took a look at him, it looked like he got hit by a pitch when he didn’t,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “In talking to him, it was just a couple of swings that he took that night. … He didn’t think much of it, but just got worse the following day.
“So you just got to let it calm down a little bit and then we’ll go from there. But we don’t have a timetable for how long this is going to last.”
Polanco, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Mets in December, also has been dealing with an ankle issue.
“He was trending in the right direction,” Mendoza said of the ankle injury. “It’s definitely going to help, obviously now with him being shut down. But the biggest thing now is that we’ve got to take care of that wrist.”
Polanco spent the previous two seasons with the Mariners, who acquired him in a February 2024 trade with the Minnesota Twins.
Polanco struggled during his first season with Seattle in 2024, hitting just .213 with 16 homers in 118 games while playing through a knee injury that didn’t become public knowledge until after the season.
But after the Mariners somewhat surprisingly brought him back for a one-year contract in 2025, Polanco rebounded to hit .265 with 26 homers and an .821 OPS in 138 games last season. He then added three homers during Seattle’s playoff run, along with a 15th-inning walkoff single in Game 5 of the American League Division Series that sent the Mariners to their first ALCS in 24 years.
