The much-anticipated revival of the legendary sitcom Frasier has already begun filming and two familiar faces from the iconic Seattle-set show are returning for the spin-off.

One of these is Peri Gilpin, who played Roz Doyle – the long-time friend and radio producer of Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) on the 1993 to 2004 sitcom.

She will be back to guest star in an episode of the reboot, which is also titled Frasier.

Frasier reboot: Two very familiar faces have joined the show.

Her involvement was confirmed by Paramount+, the streaming service producing the revival, in a tweet which you can see below.

She joins Bebe Neuwirth in returning for the spin-off. The latter played Dr. Lilith Sternin, Frasier’s ex-wife, in a recurring role on the original Frasier, on top of appearing in its precursor Cheers.

Exact details on the upcoming reboot of Frasier remain under wraps but it will be focused on a new chapter in the title psychiatrist and radio host’s life as he returns to Boston, where Cheers – also starring Grammer – was set.

The main cast for the revival, alongside Grammer, includes Only Fools and Horses star Nicholas Lyndhurst, as well as Anders Keith, Jack Cutmore-Scott, Jess Salgueiro and Toks Olagundoye.
