Kelsey Grammer Slams Paramount+ For Frasier Cancellation: 'They Didn't Really Promote It'

Kelsey Grammer has a bone to pick with his former streaming home.

The star of the Frasier revival, which was cancelled in January after two seasons on Paramount+, blames the show's demise on a lack of support from the streamer. "Obviously, they didn't really promote or spend much time on it," he tells the New York Post.

"The fellow that worked at Paramount+ when we first sold the show there left, and so it sort of fell into their laps, the next administration," Grammer recalls. "So I think they gave it sort of a good try, but they weren't particularly passionate about the project."

Grammer still feels "very positive," though, about the possibility of another outlet picking up Frasier for a third season: "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."

In fact, Grammer is still holding out hope that he could reunite with his Cheers co-star Ted Danson in a potential third season: "Ted and I might visit actually something together. We've been talking about a couple ideas. Maybe on Frasier. We don't know." He added that Danson's character Sam Malone "and Frasier got along pretty well, discovered some things together about life. They could still do that."

Grammer reprised his role as psychiatrist Frasier Crane, a role he originated on Cheers and then continued on his own spinoff Frasier, which ran for 11 seasons on NBC. In the revival, Frasier moved back to Boston to reconnect with his son Freddy, taking a job teaching at Harvard along the way. Jack Cutmore-Scott co-starred as Freddy, with Nicholas Lyndhurst as Frasier's pal and fellow professor Alan, Toks Olagundoye as department head Olivia, Jess Salgueiro as Freddy's friend and roommate Eve and Anders Keith as Frasier's nephew David.
