'Frasier' Revival Will See the Return of a 'Cheers' Alum

One of the most beloved cast members is making a comeback.

Frasier is being revived, and so is one of the show's original cast members! 

Bebe Neuwirth is set to reprise her role as Lilith in the upcoming Frasier reboot.

Lilith first appeared in the '80s sitcom Cheers, where Frasier–portrayed by Kelsey Grammer, 67–was also introduced for the first time. The two characters married and had a son on the show, which had an 11-season run from 1982 to 1993. The couple ultimately divorced by the time the Frasier spin-off debuted in the fall of 1993.

Now, the revival will follow Frasier, who returns to Boston, reuniting with Lilith at their grown-up son's birthday party.

"Lilith, in classic form, is far from pleased about having to share Freddy (Jack Cutmore-Scott) now that Frasier is back living in Boston. What begins as a fun party with friends and family inevitably becomes a Lilith-and-Frasier showdown for the ages!" per a statement shared in a press release.

Neuwirth marks the first confirmed original series cast member to join Grammer for the revival. Other cast members include Nicholas Lyndhurst, Toks Olagundoye, Jess Salgueiro, and Anders Keith.

During an interview with PEOPLE in Nov. 2022, Grammer revealed that the revival has been in the works for quite some time now. "We start rehearsals in February," he said. "We've been working on it honestly for about six or seven years."

"It's been on the slow burner," he continued. "We were like, this is not a bad idea. Maybe this is a good idea!"

Grammer said they originally wanted to bring back the original cast–David Hyde Pierce, Peri Gilpin, and Jane Leeves–but Hyde Pierce opted out, making them rethink the direction they wanted to go with the revival.

The Frasier revival is expected to premiere sometime later this year on Paramount+.
