If you've been following our coverage of Joe Cristalli (Life in Pieces) and Chris Harris's (How I Met Your Mother) Kelsey Grammer-starring Frasier, then you already know that there are going to be quite a few new and familiar faces on our screens for the second season. With only days to go until a second round of serious laughs and heartfelt feels, Grammer (Dr. Frasier Crane), Cristalli, Harris, the cast, and more share their thoughts on how the series has changed over the course of the first season, and how what we've seen so far is merely a prelude to a season that Anders Keith (David Crane) describes as being even more of a celebration of Dr. Frasier Crane than the first season was for the character.

Here's a look behind the scenes at the second season, followed by a look back at what else we know about the Paramount+ series so far – with the two-episode, James Burrows-directed return set for Thursday, September 19th:

Here's a look back at the image gallery that was released last month, offering some insights into what we can expect from six of the season's episodes: S02E01: "Ham," S02E02: "The Dedication," S02E03: "All About Eve," S02E05: "Thank You, Dr. Crane,' S02E06: "Cape Cod," and S02E09: "Murder Most Finch" (we can already tell that "Murder Most Finch" is going to be a personal favorite). Paramount+'s second season of Frasier premieres on Thursday, September 19th:

The lineup for the second season includes Peri Gilpin's Roz Doyle returning as a recurring guest star and Grammer's daughter, Greer Grammer, set to play Roz's daughter. In addition, Amy Sedaris (At Home with Any Sedaris), Yvette Nicole Brown (Community) are set as guest stars, with Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond) set for a guest-starring arc. We also learned that Harriet Samson Harris will reprise her original series role as Frasier Crane's agent, Bebe Glazer, for a guest role – with Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) joining her as Bebe's daughter, Phoebe Glazer. In addition, it appears Frasier has a KACL reunion happening, with Dan Butler returning as Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe and Edward Hibbert returning as Gil Chesterton – both in guest-starring roles.

"Kelsey made a triumphant return as one of the most iconic and beloved characters on television," said Jeff Grossman, Executive Vice President, Programming, Paramount+. "The new series introduced 'Frasier' to a whole new generation while reminding fans of Kelsey's truly timeless portrayal of Dr. Crane. We're so excited to see what the creative team and superb cast serve up for season two." Grammer added, "'Frasier' is a love story, and I am very happy we will be allowed to continue it. I'm delighted that our partners at CBS Studios and Paramount+ are on board for another season, and I can't wait for the fans to see what we have in store!" Paramount+'s Frasier stems from writers Harris and Cristalli, who executive produce with Grammer, Tom Russo, and Jordan McMahon. CBS Studios produces the series in association with Grammer's Grammnet NH Productions.
