Frasier reboot's showrunners Joe Cristalli and Chris Harris reveal the scrapped pilot that showed Martin's funeral in Seattle with the complete cast.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Frasier reboot pilot almost featured Frasier Crane back in Seattle with the rest of the original cast for Martin Crane's funeral. When Frasier starts his next act in Boston, he is fresh from losing his father.
Joe Cristalli: We saw the funeral in one version of this show. We were still in Seattle and had the whole cast. One of the jokes was Bulldog walking up to the coffin and being very sad and saying, This stinks. This is total BS. I remember being furious that that wasn’t my joke. It was Chris’s joke. Joe Cristalli: It would’ve been too hard to have that funeral scene and not see Niles or Daphne. If you’re going to do the funeral scene, you have to see those people. It would’ve been heartbreaking and silly to try to explain it, “Oh, Niles is caught in a hot-air balloon somewhere and couldn’t make the funeral.” It never would’ve worked in the way we envisioned it.
Beyond that, however, starting the Frasier reboot in Seattle would have been detrimental to the show overall. Assuming that Niles and Daphne agree to appear, it's highly unlikely that they would stick around. This means that Frasier still needs to move to Boston in order to physically separate him from them. This would have only highlighted how much the original cast is missed in the Paramount+ revival.
