Frasier fans, rejoice! Harriet Sansom Harris is back! The celebrated actress, renowned for her role as Bebe Glazer, will return in the second season of the Frasier revival. But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Joining her is none other than Rachel Bloom, known for her work in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Bloom will play Phoebe Glazer, Bebe’s charming and ambitious daughter.

Bebe Glazer left a lasting mark on the original series with her dramatic flair and unforgettable personality. As one of the standout recurring characters from 1993 to 2004, she frequently stole the show.

The Return of Iconic Characters

Harris isn’t the lone returning star. Peri Gilpin is set to reprise her beloved role as Roz Doyle, Frasier’s producer. Fans got a taste of her presence during the season one finale.

Dan Butler will also make a comeback as sports shock jock Bob ‘Bulldog’ Briscoe. Bulldog’s larger-than-life personality was a hit among viewers in the original series.

Furthermore, Edward Hibbert returns as Gil Chesterton, the pompous food critic who provided witty commentary throughout the show’s original run.

A New Generation

The reboot doesn’t just rely on familiar faces. Jack Cutmore-Scott, portraying Freddy Crane, Frasier and Lilith Sternin’s son, brings a fresh dynamic to the series. Freddy, a firefighter who dropped out of Harvard to his father’s dismay, introduces a new kind of tension to Frasier’s life.

Nicholas Lyndhurst joins as Alan, Frasier’s college buddy turned university professor.

Actress Toks Olagundoye, portraying Olivia, Alan’s colleague and head of the university’s psychology department, promises nuanced interactions within the academic setting.

A Nod to Legacy Characters

The upcoming episodes are expected to weave together both new and legacy characters creating interesting plot dynamics.

This multi-layered cast aims to capture the essence while infusing contemporary elements, much to the delight of franchise fans.
