Frasier’s Niles Replacement Is Already Breaking 1 Rule That Made The Original So Good

The Frasier reboot introduces its Niles replacement, who is breaking 1 rule from the original show that made it so great. When Kelsey Grammer returns on the small screen for Frasier Crane’s fourth and final act, he will be without his brother, Niles. Despite being asked to join the Paramount+ project, David Hyde Pierce opted against partaking in the project, which forced the show’s creative team to find another creative route for the revival. For starters, physically separating Frasier from his brother and seeing him return to Boston effectively explains Niles’ absence, considering that he is based in Seattle.
