Kelsey Grammer has high hopes for the future of “Frasier.”
Despite the revival series being canceled after two seasons on Paramount+, Grammer, 70, exclusively told The Post he’s “very positive” about the show returning for Season 3 on a different streamer or network.
“There’s a better home for it,” he said. “I mean, obviously, they didn’t really promote or spent much time on it.”
Grammer explained, “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.”
“We’ll end up somewhere where people are passionate about it,” he added. “Listen, it’s got a huge audience, a big following, and if people know where to find it, I think they will.”
The “Frasier” revival premiered in Oct. 2023 and followed the iconic Dr. Frasier Crane (Grammer) moving back to Boston after the death of his father and the end of his 20-year relationship with Charlotte.
The show was canceled in January 2025, but according to Deadline, CBS Studios has plans to shop the series elsewhere.
Not only does Grammer think “Frasier” will return, but he thinks there’s a chance his former “Cheers” co-star Ted Danson could join him on the revival.
“Ted and I might visit actually something together,” Grammer told The Post. “We’ve been talking about a couple ideas. Maybe on ‘Frasier.’ We don’t know.”
Grammer, who revealed the real reason for his 30-year falling out with Danson, 77, to The Post, noted that “there’s certainly still some fields to be mined there” before Dr. Crane reunites with Danson’s Sam Malone onscreen.
“As long as its still a relevant relationship, it will still be relevant for the show,” he said. “[Sam] and Frasier got along pretty well, discovered some things together about life. They could still do that.”
But Grammer was confident about one thing: “‘Cheers’ will not come back,” he said, adding, “I mean, Jimmy Burrows has always said, ‘No, that bar doesn’t exist anymore.’”
The “X-Men” actor also told The Post that the buzz about his and Danson’s friendship fallout was “blown out of proportion.”
“There really wasn’t an argument,” he said. “It was at a time in my life when I was actually going through a lot of self-doubt, self-loathing, honestly.”
“It was when I was drinking a lot. Ted had just come up and said, ‘You know, I’m kind of mad at you that sometimes you don’t show up ready to go.’ And I said, ‘OK, I respect that.’ And that actually was sort of it,” Grammer explained.
Despite not being as close as they once were, Grammer has nothing but love for his former co-star.
“I’ve always thought of him with the most loving kind of remembrance and fondness,” Grammer shared.
