Will there be a Frasier season 3?
The second season just came to an emotional end on Paramount Plus.
Reboots of classic sitcoms rarely go well, but Frasier has managed to accumulate a small following in its short time on Paramount Plus, which could potentially be enough to secure a third season of the show.
Of course, the streaming landscape is a tad wobbly at the moment, with some streamers cutting back on programming and dropping shows that aren't bringing in big numbers.
All that to say, the bar is high for any series hoping for a long run, and Frasier's failure to make a dent on Nielsen's streaming charts suggests that it isn't among the biggest shows on Paramount Plus.
Nevertheless, Kelsey Grammer has expressed interest in bringing more of his most famous character's later years to the screen. Here's everything we know so far about a potential Frasier season 3.
Will there be a Frasier season 3?
Frasier has not yet been renewed or cancelled by Paramount Plus.
With the season 2 finale only recently released, the streamer will likely be monitoring the performance of the show thus far and seeing if any last-minute binge watchers materialise in the weeks to come.
We'll most likely have an answer about the show's fate within the next couple of months, so keep checking back for updates as they come in.
When could a potential Frasier season 3 be released?
Frasier fans enjoyed a rapid turnaround between seasons 1 and 2, with less than a year separating them, so the creatives behind the sitcom would most likely be aiming for a similar timeframe if they were to go again.
That would point to a potential Frasier season 3 landing on Paramount Plus by September or October 2025.

What could happen in a potential Frasier season 3?
Frasier's season 2 finale left a number of plot threads open to further exploration.
Love was certainly in the air, with Frasier and Holly getting closer over the course of the season, while his son, Freddy, faced the prospect of an awkward love triangle between himself, Eve and Alice.
Meanwhile, Alan was reunited with his estranged daughter, showing a softer side to the jaded academic, which could be expanded upon if the show were to receive another renewal.
On featuring more Cheers connections in a possible season 3, showrunner Chris Harris told ScreenRant: "One area is that we haven't yet taken advantage of the fact that Fraser is back in Boston, and that is where Cheers took place.
"So there's a whole group of characters. Obviously, Bebe was part of that. Lilith. But we'd love for Frasier to run into somebody along the way at some point."
Is there a Frasier season 3 trailer?
Alas, there's no additional footage to share just yet. We'll update this page if that changes.
Frasier is available to stream on Paramount Plus.
