Now, theFrasierreboot reverses its title character’s decision.

Although Grammer reached out to his fellowFrasieractor, Pierce passed on the project.

Notably, Pierce’s stint as Niles earned him four Emmy Award wins and a whopping 11 nominations.

New episodes of theFrasierreboot’s second season air on Paramount+ on Thursdays through November 14, 2024.

Pierce’s stance on theFrasierrebootshouldn’t come as a huge surprise to long-time fans.

Of course, Pierce might not have thoughtFrasierwould receive the reboot treatment at the time.

Unfortunately for viewers,Pierce doubled down on his sentiments just a year before theFrasierreboot’s first season aired.

I loved every moment.

It was that I wanted to do other things.

And I also thought, They dont actually need me.

Frasier has moved on to a new world."

Taking a cue fromCheers, the productionrelocated Frasier to Boston in the reboot.

“I did my best to have him come along for the ride,” Grammer explained.

Could David Hyde Pierce’s Niles Eventually Appear In Frasier?

Without a doubt, seeing the Crane brothers reunite on the screen would be a special treat for long-timeFrasierfans.
