The first season of Frasier, the Paramount Plus original series that was a reboot of the classic sitcom, saw Kelsey Grammer's popular character return to Boston, where he first appeared as a member of the Cheers cast. Well now, Frasier season 2 is going to see him head back to Seattle, where the eponymous series was set (at least for one episode).

This new iteration of Frasier is one of the highlights of the fall TV season for Paramount Plus, which also has a pair of Taylor Sheridan shows set to premiere over the next few months: the Sylvester Stallone-led Tulsa King season 2 and the new series Landman starring Billy Bob Thornton.

But Grammer's Frasier is what we are focusing on here. Let's get into everything you need to know about Frasier season 2.

Frasier season 2 next episode

Frasier season 2 episode 5 is now streaming on Paramount Plus.

New episodes of the comedy premiere every Thursday.

As a Paramount Plus exclusive, you must be signed up for the streaming service in order to watch Frasier. For international subscribers, there’s one price option to sign up, but in the US there are two: the ad-supported Paramount Plus Essential and the ad-free Paramount Plus with Showtime, which as the name suggests also includes access to Showtime programming as part of its set of features.

Frasier season 2 cast

Kelsey Grammer reprises his role as Frasier Crane in the series, a role that garnered him four Primetime Emmys over the initial series' run.
