The Frasier reboot confirms its latest casting as Season 2 production ramps up. The Paramount+ revival series enlists Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett's Peli Motto in a guest role.

Per Variety, Amy Sedaris will join the second season of the Frasier reboot as one of its guest stars. Sedaris, known for bringing her sense of humor to the Star Wars universe, features in Season 2 of the updated Frasier as Dr. "Doc" Stathos, a therapist and self-professed fan of the eponymous psychiatrist/talk show host-turned-professor. Sedaris' character is described as “a municipal therapist with a down home, scattered veneer. She works with the firefighters at Freddy’s firehouse and is also a big, BIG fan of Frasier Crane from his old TV talk show.”

Sedaris played Motto, a mechanic who operates a hanger in Mos Eisley, provided some of the more lighthearted moments in The Book of Boba Fett miniseries, which aired in 2022. She also portrayed Motto in four episodes across three seasons in The Mandalorian. She may not be done portraying the character as The Book of Boba Fett may land a second season. The first season of the miniseries became a popular watch on Disney+ but received mixed reviews from critics.

The Frasier Revival Continues With Season 2

The Frasier revival's follow-up season recently began principal photography following its renewal by Paramount in February. Season 2 also confirmed the return of Peri Gilpin's Roz Doyle after the original series star appeared in the Season 1 finale, "Reindeer Games" to reunite with the titular character. Star and executive producer Kelsey Grammer confirmed before the show's renewal confirmation that he wants a bigger role for Gilpin in Season 2.

Furthermore, Grammer wants to reunite with some of his Cheers co-stars in Season 2 of the Frasier reboot, including Shelley Long, who played Frasier's short-term partner Diane Chambers on the parent series, and Ted Danson, who portrayed bar owner Sam Malone. However, Grammer insists there won't be a Cheers revival series. Meanwhile, Grammer left the door open for some more original Frasier stars to return, including David Hyde Pierce, who famously played the eponymous character's brother Niles during the sitcom's first run.

Season 1 of the Frasier reboot starred Jack Cutmore-Scott (Freddy Crane), Nicholas Lyndhurst (Alan Cornwall), Toks Olagundoye (Olivia Finch), Anders Keith (David Crane) and Jess Salgueiro (Eve). The series, which sees Frasier return to Boston to take a Harvard professorship following a distinguished career as a radio and TV host, received mixed critical reviews but solid audience feedback.

Fans can stream Season 1 of the Frasier reboot on Paramount+. No release window has been confirmed yet for Season 2.
