Frasier Canceled By Paramount+ After 2 Seasons; Revival Will Be Shopped By CBS Studios

Frasier‘s return has hit a major bump. Paramount+ has opted not to renew the Kelsey Grammer-led comedy for a third season. Producer CBS Studios remains committed to the series and plans to shop it to other outlets.

Those are not expected to include the most logical home for a multi-camera sitcom that originated on broadcast — CBS Studios’ sibling CBS. The network, which just committed to a planted spinoff of The Neighborhood, has no current shelf space available, and it also has a development slate set. Possibilities include Prime Video and Hulu, which both carry the library of Frasier‘s original run. Seasons 1 and 2 of the revival, along with the original library episodes, will remain available on Paramount+.

Frasier was a lone multi-camera sitcom and one of only two original comedy series on the platform, alongside the single-camera international co-production Colin From Accounts, which is done under a different model and is looking good to continue.

The new Frasier follows Frasier Crane — a character Grammer originated on NBC’s Cheers and then reprised on the network’s spinoff Frasier — 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.
