Kelsey Grammer Gives FRASIER Season 3 Update Amid Cancellation
Movieguide® Contributor
FRASIER’s Kelsey Grammer is hopeful that a network will pick up his classic reboot soon.
“We’ll end up somewhere where people are passionate about it,” Grammer recently told the New York Post. “Listen, it’s got a huge audience, a big following, and if people know where to find it, I think they will.”
“I want to do another 100 episodes at least,” he told The Toronto Sun in October of last year. “Whether we get there sooner rather than later, I don’t know. We could get there in four years if they wanted to, but we don’t need to. If they want to spread it out a little longer, that’s fine with me. I think he (Frasier) is going to be relevant and interesting because I intend to stay that way.”
Paramount announced the show’s cancellation in January, despite the fact that it had good ratings. The reboot ran for two seasons. The second season just came out last September.
“The fellow that worked at Paramount Plus when we first sold the show there left,” “and so it sort of fell into their laps, the next administration, without having any real conscious and what to do with it,” Grammer explained. “So I think they gave it sort of a good try, but they weren’t particularly passionate about the project.”

NBC aired the original FRASIER series from 1993-2004, for 11 seasons. It’s possible FRASIER’s home channel might have a natural interest in picking up the reboot. However, no companies have publicly indicated any interest in resuming the series just yet—but there’s still time.
In the reboot, Grammer resumes his role as psychiatrist Frasier Crane. He moves back to Boston to teach at Harvard and get closer to his son, Freddy.
Grammer hinted that Season 3, should it get picked up, might feature Ted Danson, his co-star from CHEERS. The two only recently made up after a disagreement left them on not-speaking terms for 30 years. Even if the show doesn’t get picked up, Grammer still hopes to work with him again.
“We’ve been talking about a couple ideas,” Grammer said.
Other stars who were left hanging with the cancellation are Nicholas Lyndhurst, Toks Olagundoye, Jess Salgueiro, Patricia Heaton and Anders Keith.
Lyndhurst, a UK native, said he wants to get the show up and running again and has “no intention of giving up on his American dream.”
