Entertainment TV Scripted TV Shows 'Frasier' Revival Welcomes Back Fan-Favorite Lilith as Paramount+ Confirms Bebe Neuwirth Will Guest Star Kelsey Grammer and Bebe Neuwirth played sparring psychiatrists on Cheers from 1986 to 1993 By Brandon Livesay Published on March 1, 2023 12:52PM EST Photo: Paul Drinkwater/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images via Getty Cheers to the reunion of one of TV's most hilariously contemptuous couples! Paramount+ confirmed on Wednesday that Kelsey Grammer and Bebe Neuwirth will reteam for its upcoming Frasier revival. The pair were first seen on screen together as sparring psychiatrists on NBC's Cheers starting in 1986, when Neuwirth joined as Lilith Sternin. Amid an endless back-and-forth of barbed comments, Lilith eventually married Grammer's Frasier Crane, and they welcomed son Frederick late in the show. When Cheers ended in May 1993, the Cranes had divorced and Grammer's character moved from Boston to Seattle as part of the setup for Grammer's spin-off Frasier. Neuwirth, 64, ultimately made a dozen appearances on Frasier during its 11-season from 1993 to 2004. And now the revival sees Frasier returning to Boston and reuniting with Lilith at their now-grown son's birthday party. According to a release from Paramount+: "Lilith, in classic form, is far from pleased about having to share Freddy (Jack Cutmore-Scott) now that Frasier is back living in Boston. What begins as a fun party with friends and family inevitably becomes a Lilith-and-Frasier showdown for the ages!"

She and David Hyde Pierce — who took home four Emmys for portraying Frasier's high-strung brother Niles Crane on Frasier — both played essential supporting roles in HBO Max's Julia, which was inspired by the life of iconic chef Julia Child.

As for his character's return Boston, the actor said: "[Frasier is] our brave little soldier that continues on in life, finding new challenges and a new love and new people and a new city and stuff like that."
