The hit series Frasier is back for season 2 on Paramount+ and it's bringing a lot of surprises, including an unexpected duet and a potential family secret!
Frasier Season 2 and a New Guest Star
The reboot, which started in 2023, sees Kelsey Grammer returning as Dr. Frasier Crane, navigating life as a Harvard professor and dealing with his son Freddy (Jack Cutmore-Scott). The cast includes familiar faces like Toks Olagundoye, Jess Salgueiro, Anders Keith, and Nicholas Lyndhurst. This season, though, we get a very interesting guest star.
An exclusive clip from Entertainment Weekly reveals a duet with Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend)! This appears to happen in an episode coming out on October 10th, 2024. The name of the episode is "The Squash Courtship of Freddy's Father." What makes it even more interesting is that Bloom's character, Phoebe, shares many of Frasier's personality traits, including her taste for Cole Porter music! Together, they perform an incredible rendition of "You're the Top" from Anything Goes!
A Potential Family Secret
The clip doesn't just show off their amazing singing talent. The duet and their similarities hint at something way more interesting!
- There’s a huge implication that Phoebe could actually be Frasier's daughter!
- Bebe Glazer (Harriet Sansom Harris), Phoebe's mother, also seems mystified about Phoebe's habits. Her reactions to Phoebe and Frasier are identical. This makes everyone think the relationship might be more significant than it seems.
- Another subtle clue? Phoebe's name: It's like a mashup of Frasier and Bebe, possibly hinting something more complex for viewers.
Of course, the viewers never know with Frasier! The show always manages to give those interesting twists and turns to viewers. So Phoebe being Frasier’s daughter is not set in stone and might even be a misdirect before an unexpected, hilarious conclusion for viewers! But let's take another look!
Why Phoebe Might Not Be Frasier's Daughter
It's hard to say for sure but we do have some clues that Phoebe might not actually be related to Frasier.
- Bloom is listed only as a guest star, so the impact could only be brief. A truly family reveal would most likely warrant a bigger role later on.
- Frasier’s son, Freddy does not seem to end up like him in the same way. That really goes against a common trend throughout the series. Maybe they took it in a different direction with this version?
The Impact of the Clip
The big duet might have fans wanting more! Grammer and Bloom are amazing singers. Showing this element off in a really meaningful moment makes fans speculate. Will Phoebe's appearance bring about an unexpected, amazing turn?
The creators could use this to throw everyone off track! Tune in and see what's coming next on Paramount+!
