Feb. 22 (UPI) -- Paramount+ renewed the Frasier revival for a second season on Thursday. Season 1 is currently streaming.

Twenty-nine years after the end of his Cheers spinoff, Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) returned to Boston after his radio and TV career concluded. Dr. Crane was a psychiatrist who became a media personality in the '90s Frasier spinoff and the years in between shows.

The revival stars Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frasier's son, Freddy, and Anders Keith as his nephew, David. Toks Olagundoye, Jess Salgueiro and Nicholas Lyndhurst are among the new cast.

"Frasier is a love story, and I am very happy we will be allowed to continue it," Grammer said in a statement.

The revival premiered Oct. 12 and its season finale premiered Dec. 7. Frasier co-star Peri Gilpin reprised her role in one episode, and Frasier's ex-wife Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) also appeared in the first season of the revival.
