Frasierperforms a duet with a character who may be his daughter in a new clip.Frasierseason 2is a continuation of the reboot of the iconic 1990s sitcom, which premiered on Paramount+ in 2023. The show sees Dr. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) returning to Boston and attempting to bond with his adult son Freddy (Jack Cutmore-Scott) after taking a job as a Harvard professor. The main cast of the show also includes Toks Olagundoye, Jess Salgueiro, Anders Keith, and Nicholas Lyndhurst.
Entertainment Weeklyhas now shared an exclusive clip from the upcomingFrasierseason 2 episode “The Squash Courtship of Freddy’s Father,” which is set to premiere on Thursday, October 10. The clip sees Frasier meeting with his former agent Bebe Glazer (Harriet Sansom Harris) and her daughter Phoebe (Rachel Bloom).He and Phoebe shares a variety of unique characteristics, including their fashion sense and a love of Cole Porter, which leads them to perform an impromptu duet ofAnything Goes' “You’re the Top.” See the clip below:
What This Clip Means For Frasier
Phoebe May Be Frasier Crane’s Daughter
In addition to allowing both Bloom (who co-created and starred in the musical comedy seriesCrazy Ex-Girlfriend) and Crane to show off their musical theater chops, this clipheavily implies that Bloom’s character Phoebe is secretly Frasier’s daughter. While Bebe does not let on that she may be fully aware of this fact, she does express being mystified about the way that her daughter dresses and behaves. In fact, she responds to her daughter’s antics in a similar way to how she responds to Frasier’s own behavior.
Rachel Bloom createdCrazy Ex-Girlriend, which ran for four seasons on The CW, withThe Devil Wears Pradascreenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna.
Another clue that Bloom’s character in the upcomingFrasierseason 2 episodeis actually his daughter is the fact that her name is Phoebe, which seems to bea portmanteau of Frasier and Bebe’s names. This could either be a subtle hint on the part of the writers or a major misdirect leading to a big punchline at the end of the episode where Phoebe’s real father is revealed.
Our Take On The New Frasier Clip
Phoebe’s Parentage Remains A Mystery
Ultimately it remains to be seen if Phoebe Glazer is actually related to the show’s title character. However, one sign that she may not is the fact that Bloom has only joined theFrasiercastas a guest star. Unless the producers are considering making her a recurring character later on, it seemsunlikely that a short-term character would have such a profound impacton the ongoing storyline. Additionally, as underlined by Freddy’s personality, characters in the show’s universe typically don’t grow up to be like their parents.
