LOS ANGELES — Paramount confirmed today that the upcoming reboot of their popular 1990’s sitcom Frasier will take place inside of a multiverse, joining upcoming releases with similar themes including Deadpool 3, season two of Invincible, the follow up to Spider Man: Across the Spiderverse, and all of the upcoming MCU films, sources have confirmed.
“We are so excited to open up the world of the Frasier Crane multiverse,” said Kelsey Grammer, the show’s titular star. “When people first caught wind of the fact that I was the only returning cast member, our project was derided as being everything wrong with today’s mindless entertainment landscape. People thought this new version was nothing more than a hollow attempt to corral fans into a lifeless reboot. But don’t worry, there’s a good reason for it: we’re doing a multiverse thing! Sounds great, right?”
The rebooted Frasier’s plot sees the psychiatrist somehow accidentally warp to a world that has no resemblance to his previous home, one of an infinite amount he could have landed in, according to show’s producers.
“You’ve never seen anything like this on Frasier,” said Chris Harris, an executive producer on the show. “We’ve spent a few decades getting to know this character, their family and their work and that kind of stuff. But we wanted to go a little deeper this time, and see what happens if Frasier found himself in an oddly cold and empty universe that has a shitload of cameos from Cheers.”
Fans of the show reacted negatively to the news.
“Wow, when they said Frasier reboot, I guess I pictured the further adventures of Frasier and possibly his brother Niles,” said Allison Koski, a devoted fan of the original. “Not Frasier Crane traveling through different universes and giving advice to people from other old Paramount sitcoms and movies. That sounds terrible. Can’t they just write some stories that have characters and jokes in them? Or is that asking too much?”
As of press time, a holographic Kirstie Alley had controversially appeared on Good Morning America to promote her appearance on the upcoming Frasier reboot.
