Kelsey Grammer is confident his Frasier revival with CBS Studios will find a new home while teasing Ted Danson could be involved in a potential Season 3.
Grammer, who reprised the titular role in the Paramount+ series, revealed the project had been passed between executives and ended up in hands less passionate than that of the original executive who shepherded the project.
“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. So I think they gave it sort of a good try, but they weren’t particularly passionate about the project,” he told the New York Post in a recent interview.
He also teased a third season could include Danson, his former co-star on Cheers, the show where the Frasier character was born. Grammer and Danson recently made amends after the duo spent 30 years without speaking to one another. Grammer told the Post if not on new episodes of Frasier, he and Danson are thinking of ways to work together again.
Watch on Deadline
Deadline conversations between Grammer and Danson were personal in nature. The show is actively being shopped around, leaving plans for Season 3 up in the air.
“We’ll end up somewhere where people are passionate about it. Listen, it’s got a huge audience, a big following, and if people know where to find it, I think they will,” he told the Post.
The new Frasier follows Frasier Crane in the next chapter of his life after he returns to Boston to face new challenges, forge new relationships, and – with hope – finally fulfill an old dream or two.
The series also stars Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frasier’s son, Freddy; Nicholas Lyndhurst as Alan, Frasier’s old college buddy turned university professor; Toks Olagundoye as Olivia, Alan’s colleague and head of the university’s psychology department; Jess Salgueiro as Eve, Frasier and Freddy’s neighbor; and Anders Keith as Frasier’s nephew, David.
