Freddy has something to prove to his father in preview images for Paramount+'s Frasier S01E04 "Trivial Pursuits,"; plus, a look at the cast.

Based on the previews for this week's episode of Joe Cristalli (Life in Pieces) & Chris Harris's (How I Met Your Mother) Frasier, it appears that Freddy (Jack Cutmore-Scott) has something to prove to his father, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) – he just so happened to pick the worst day to do it. With S01E04 "Trivial Pursuits" dropping on Thursday, we have a gallery of preview images to pass along that offer some more clues to what's to come…

Frasier (2023) Season 1 Episode 4 "Trivial Pursuits" Preview

Frasier (2023) Season 1 Episode 4 "Trivial Pursuits": Freddy (Jack Cutmore-Scott) aims to show his father that he's not "just a firefighter," but rather part of a noble and fulfilling cause–then picks the worst possible day to invite Frasier to the firehouse. Written by Bob Daily, here's a look at the preview images for this week's episode:

In the following behind-the-scenes look, Grammer introduces us to the new characters in Frasier's next chapter and the talented actors who play them, including Jack Cutmore-Scott (Freddy Crane), Toks Olagundoye (Olivia Finch), Nicholas Lyndhurst (Alan Cornwall), Anders Keith (David Krane), and Jess Salgueiro (Eve) – here's a look:

Paramount+'s Frasier stems from writers Harris and Cristalli, who executive produce with Grammer, Tom Russo, and Jordan McMahon. The series is produced by CBS Studios in association with Grammer's Grammnet NH Productions. Here's a look at the official trailer, followed by a previously released teaser that finds Grammer reimagining the original series' theme for the new series:

Kelsey Grammer returns to portray the titular character who has returned to Boston, where everybody knows your name, as his grown son Freddy (Jack Cutmore-Scott) enters college. Frasier is also embarking on a new chapter of his life back in his old stomping grounds with new challenges, new relationships to forge, and an old dream or two to fulfill finally.

Paramount+'s Frasier Revival: Who's Who?

The series represents the next chapter in Frasier's life – a chapter that will include new challenges to face, new relationships to forge, and an old dream or two to finally fulfill), with legendary director & television creator James Burrows (Cheers, Night Court) tapped to direct the first two episodes (with Episode 101: "Pilot: The Good Father" written by Joe Cristalli & Chris Harris). Joining Grammer & Gilpin are Jack Cutmore-Scott (Kingsman), Nicholas Lyndhurst (Only Fools and Horses), newcomer Anders Keith, and Jess Salgueiro (Y: The Last Man) – with Bebe Neuwirth (Julia, The Good Fight) returning to guest-star as Lilith Sternin-Crane and Peri Gilpin (Kevin Can F**k Himself) reprising her role as Roz Doyle, Frasier's one-time radio show producer who was promoted to station manager at the end of the original series.

Charming and handsome, Cutmore-Scott's Freddy is a nuanced combination of his father and grandfather. Years ago, Freddy rejected following in his father's footsteps—dropping out of college to become a fireman—and he's never looked back… until now when recent troubles have left him with no one to turn to in his life. If they can overcome past differences, Freddy and Frasier might finally have a chance to repair old wounds. Lyndhurst's Alan Cornwall is Frasier's old college buddy turned university professor. British, boozy, and larger than life, Alan has an intellect on par with Frasier's—if only he ever felt like using it. Alan's mischievous streak might be just what Frasier could use to shake up his routine, while Frasier's thoughtful guidance might help Alan find some of the direction he's been missing in his own life.

Keith's David is Frasier's nephew, now an adult and an awkward college freshman with a penchant for off-kilter observations. Frasier's nephew David has Niles' intelligence, Daphne's smile, and neither of their polish. David's unearned confidence may confuse some, but Frasier has a fondness for his nephew's earnest enthusiasm. Salgueiro's Eve is Freddy's (Cutmore-Scott) roommate who is spontaneous, outgoing, and bursting with creative energy whether it was asked for or not. Eve is a breath of fresh air. With an innate ability to connect with both Frasier and Freddy, Eve is a critical bridge between father and son as they attempt to reconcile. Neuwirth's Lilith isn't the happiest of campers when it comes to having to share Freddy now that Frasier is back in his old stomping grounds of Boston, Mass. Reuniting at Freddy's birthday party, what results is a classic face-off between the two.
