Comedy classic Frasier is set to return to TV screens with Kelsey Grammer starring in a reboot of acclaimed 1990s series.
The revival is being produced for Paramount+, the rebranded streaming service from US entertainment giant ViacomCBS.
Grammer will also serve as executive producer as well as reprising his role as psychiatrist Frasier Crane,
The actor, 66, said: “Having spent over 20 years of my creative life on the Paramount lot, both producing shows and performing in several, I’d like to congratulate Paramount+ on its entry into the streaming world.
“I gleefully anticipate sharing the next chapter in the continuing journey of Dr Frasier Crane.”
Grammer has played Frasier in three series – Cheers, Wings and the show that bears the character’s name, winning Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Dr Frasier Crane first appeared in another hit TV show, "Cheers", and the spin-off series charted his return to his hometown of Seattle to care for his cranky father, played by John Mahoney who died in 2018.
Frasier ran for 11 seasons from 1993 to 2004.
The show also followed Frasier's relationships with his brother Niles, played by David Hyde Pierce, English housekeeper Daphne Moon, played by Jane Leeves, and Frasier's producer Roz Doyle, played by Peri Gilpin.
It is not clear if any other favourite cast members will also be returning.
Paramount+ is set to expand internationally later this year, the company said.
