A revival / reboot / resurrection that got quickly cancelled ... who'd a thunk it? Oh, wait, I did. When is Hollyweird going to learn these things rarely ever work. You can't recreate the magic that made the original versions what they were. :-\
'Frasier' Revival Not Moving Forward, CBS Studios Shopping
for New Home After Two Seasons on Paramount+
----------------------------------------------------------
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 for 11 seasons from 1993 to 2004, and
won 37 Primetime Emmys. The first season of the revival
didn't take home any statues but did land three nominations.
Despite being produced by CBS Studios, it doesn't seem
likely the revival would go to CBS, as they already have
multiple comedies, including "The Neighborhood," "Poppa's
House," "George & Mandy's First Marriage," "Ghosts" and the
just-announced spinoff of "The Neighborhood" in development.
The original did air on NBC, which could rebuild a comedy
block to try to bring back Must-See TV. They currently have
comedies "Lopez vs Lopez," "Happy's Place," "Night Court"
and "St. Denis Medical."
In 2023, Grammer told Variety he wanted a new and "sillier"
version of the famous sitcom and was hoping to go "another
100 episodes at least." He added, "There's enough groundwork
laid between these human beings; they are wonderful
characters. I want to see where they go. And I want to see
what happens to Frasier."
In addition to Grammer, the comedy stars Jack Cutmore-Scott,
Nicholas Lyndhurst, Toks Olagundoye, Jess Salgueiro and
Anders Keith.
Joe Cristalli and Chris Harris serve as showrunners with Tom
Russo and Jordan McMahon as executive producers. Legendary
director James Burrows returned to direct multiple episodes
of the revival, which is produced by CBS Studios and Grammnet
NH Productions and distributed by Paramount Global Content
Distribution outside of the Paramount+ markets.
The first two seasons and the original "Frasier" are available
to stream on Paramount+.
