Raise a glass of sherry, “Frasier” fans:\u00a0David Hyde Pierce is eyeing a return to NBC.<\/p>\n
The four-time Emmy winner will star in a new multi-cam sitcom in the works at NBC, Deadline<\/a> reports. Details are scarce on the untitled project, but Pierce is said to be playing\u00a0“a man who discovers that the unexamined life can bite you in the a*s.” Marco Pennette (“Mom,”\u00a0“Caroline in the City”) will pen the pilot and serve as an executive producer along with Pierce.<\/p>\n Pierce is best known for playing Niles Crane, the fussy brother of the equally fussy Frasier Crane, on NBC’s “Frasier,”\u00a0which ran for 11 seasons on NBC from 1993 to 2004. Pierce won four Emmys for best supporting actor in a comedy for his work as Niles, out of 11 total nominations. His recent TV credits include “The Good Wife”\u00a0and “Julia.”\u00a0<\/p>\n “Frasier”\u00a0returned for a revival on Paramount+<\/a>\u00a0in 2023, with Kelsey Grammer reprising his lead role as Frasier Crane. But Pierce did not return as Niles, although other show alums like Peri Gilpin (Roz)<\/a>\u00a0and Bebe Neuwirth (Lilith)\u00a0did. When asked about Pierce’s absence, Grammer said<\/a> that “David basically decided he wasn’t really interested in repeating the performance of Niles.”\u00a0The “Frasier”\u00a0revival was canceled after two seasons<\/a>.<\/p>\n Will you tune in to see David Hyde Pierce’s new NBC sitcom?\u00a0Let us know in a comment below!<\/p>\n
