Frasier (2023) canceled by Paramount+ after two seasons

Paramount+ has chosen not to renew the comedy series Frasier (2023) led by Kelsey Grammer. Producer CBS Studios remains committed to the series and plans to sell the series to other outlets. The most logical home you would expect, CBS Studios' sister company CBS, probably won't be. The network, which has a spin-off of The Neighborhood in development, among other things, currently has no spot available in the broadcast schedule.



Options include Prime Video and Hulu, both of which have the original Frasier series on their streamer (in America). The first and second seasons of the revival, along with the original Frasier, will remain available on Paramount+. In the Netherlands this is SkyShowtime.

Paramount+ ordered Frasier (2023) in 2022 with James Burrows directing the first episode. The first season premiered a year later and season two was released in September.

Despite the familiar title and Grammer reprising his popular title role, Frasier (2023) couldn't really break through on Paramount+, which has become known as a destination for drama and is home to the Taylor Sheridan and Star Trek universes.

Frasier (2023) was a lone sitcom and one of only two original comedy series on the platform, alongside the international co-production Colin from Accounts, which is being made on a different model and looks good to continue.

The New Frasier (2023) follows Frasier Crane - a character Grammer created on NBC's Cheers and then reprized in the spin-off Frasier - in the next chapter of his life after he returns to Boston to take on new challenges, new relationships forging and - hopefully - finally fulfilling 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 friend turned college professor; Toks Olagundoye as Olivia, Alan's colleague and head of the university psychology department; Jess Salgueiro as Eve, Frasier's and Freddy's neighbor; and Anders Keith as Frasier's cousin, David.

Although the cast was made up of new actors, there were plenty of familiar faces making an appearance, including Bebe Neuwirth, who reprized the role of Frasier's ex-wife Lilith, Peri Gilpin as Roz Doyle, Dan Butler as Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe, Edward Hibbert as Gil Chesterton and Harriet Sansom Harris as Frasier's delightfully devilish agent, Bebe Glazer. Grammer spoke at the Emmys last January about his desire to see Shelley Long return to the role of Diane Chambers in a future season of Frasier (2023).

David Hyde Pierce opted not to reprise the character of Niles Crane in the new spin-off series, much to the chagrin of fans of the original Frasier.
