After two seasons on Paramount+, the “Frasier” revival will not be moving forward, Variety has learned. CBS Studios will shop the series, which debuted in October 2023, around to other platforms. The series, led by and executive produced by Kelsey Grammer, is a revival of the original series “Frasier,” a spinoff of “Cheers,” which aired on NBC from 1993 to 2004.
Despite garnering a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim, the revival failed to attract the viewership numbers necessary to justify continuing production. The decision to halt production comes as a disappointment to fans who were eager to see more of the beloved character Dr. Frasier Crane back on their screens.
While the future of the series remains uncertain, CBS Studios is optimistic about finding a new home for “Frasier” and is currently in talks with various streaming platforms. Fans of the show are encouraged to stay tuned for updates on where they may be able to catch future episodes.
What Went Wrong?
Many factors could have contributed to the revival's lackluster performance, including increased competition from other streaming platforms, changes in audience viewing habits, and perhaps a failure to capture the magic of the original series that made it a hit in the first place.
Looking Ahead
Despite the setback, Kelsey Grammer remains committed to the project and is hopeful that the series will find a new home where it can continue to entertain audiences. Fans can rest assured that the beloved character of Frasier Crane will not be forgotten and that there may still be hope for future episodes.
