The new Frasier cast is now at five! After recasting the radio psychologist's son Freddy with Jack Cutmore-Scott and bringing aboard Nicholas Lyndhurst as Professor Alan Cornwall, Frasier's boozy old college buddy, another pair has boarded the Paramount+ revival: Anders Keith and Jess Salgueiro.
In his first television or film role, Anders Keith is set to play David, Frasier’s nephew. He is indeed the son of Frasier’s brother Niles Crane and Daphne Moon, and was born during the original series finale. Nearly twenty years later he is now an "awkward college freshman with a penchant for off-kilter observations." David has his father's intelligence and his mother's smile, but seemingly neither of their elegance.

He has a bit of unearned confidence some are bewildered by, but his sincere enthusiasm is something his uncle has been pretty fond of. Keith graduated Julliard just last May.
The other newly-cast character for the series is therefore Salgueiro’s, named Eve. She will be Freddy's roommate. She's described as "spontaneous, outgoing, and bursting with creative energy", even when it wasn't called for.
Eve apparently connects with Frasier as much as she has with his son and thus becomes the connective tissue and biggest cheerleader in their journey to reconciliation. Salgueiro has appeared in such shows as Y: The Last Man, Letterkenny, Workin’ Moms, The Boys, and The Expanse. She will also be appearing in Apple's upcoming Godzilla series.
Originally announced in February 2021 and only getting the greenlight this past October, the public still only has that vague plot summary of new locations and new challenges to go off of.
It's still not known what new city Frasier is off to, which now presumably amounts to where David is going to college and where Freddy has uprooted himself in this current low point, but it can't be Chicago since that's where he landed nearly 20 years ago, it wouldn't be all that new. Wherever they are, viewers will find out when the revival premieres sometime this year.
