‘It’s My Gut’: Frasier’s Wendie Malick Explains the Touching Reason She Probably Won’t Return for the Revival

THE Spawn the revival was apparently popular with Paramount+ Subscription holder, enough to allow him to win a second season. Once again featured Kelsey Grammer As psychiatrist Frasier Crane, the series sees him return to Boston to rekindle his relationship with his son and take up a professorship at Harvard. As Grammer is joined by new characters, some OGs of the franchise also appear. However, Wendie Malick does not intend to return for season 2 on the TV schedule 2024 or any future season and there is a touching reason for that.

Wendie Malick joined the original Spawn during her 11th and final season as Frasier and Niles’ childhood babysitter, Ronee Lawrence. The character eventually ended up becoming the girlfriend of the brothers’ father, Martin, and the two eventually married in the 2004 series finale. The Crane patriarch was played by the late John Mahoneydied in 2018 from throat cancer. And Malick recently explained to TV Insider that the death of her co-star is one of the main reasons why she doesn’t like reprising Ronee:

It’s kind of like when people ask me about Just Shoot Me. Without George Segal, I just don’t think it would feel right. I had such a connection to John Mahoney who played his love interest and eventually married him that I’m not sure I want to return to it. It was a very enjoyable thing, and this season was so much fun and I was honored to be a part of it. And sometimes I think you feel like you’ve pushed your character as far as you can, and then maybe you leave it and savor those memories. Never say never, but that’s my intuition.
