“When they reunite, Lilith, in classic form, is far from pleased about having to share Freddy (Jack Cutmore-Scott) now that Frasier is back living in Boston,” reads the official logline, TVLine states. “What begins as a fun party with friends and family inevitably becomes a Lilith and Frasier showdown for the ages.” Kelsey Grammer plays Frasier Crane in the reboot series.

Kelsey Grammer Recently Opened Up About Late ‘Cheers’ Co-Star Kirstie Alley
Grammer recently opened up about his late Cheers co-star Kirstie Alley. “I loved Kirstie,” Grammer said. He then said that Alley was always beautiful. “She had that thing about her. She was a radiant human being and that came through her.” Grammer added that she could make him laugh out loud a lot, too. “Everything she did made me giggle. The first time I went to her house there were lemurs living on the property and I thought, only in Kirstie’s world.”
Meanwhile, of course, since Frasier is back in Boston, that must mean he’s headed over to the Cheers bar for a drink. Or does it? “There’s mention of a certain bar,” Grammer said. But Grammer heard the establishment had bellied up. “Someone recently told me they were there, so I guess it still may be happening.” We willl have to stay tuned and see if there’s another reunion of sorts happening at the place where everybody knows your name.
