Will there be a Frasier season 3?

With the move came a number of brand new characters, including Only Fools and Horses icon Nicholas Lyndhurst as jaded professor Alan Cornwall and Anders Keith as the pitch-perfect David Crane (son of Niles and Daphne, taking after the former).

Reviews were mixed, with some drawing unflattering comparisons to the original series, but the Frasier reboot certainly had its fans, many of whom were gutted when Paramount Plus declined to renew it for season 3.

In the months since, Grammer has assured them that the show still has a chance at life. Read on for everything we know so far about the future of Frasier – including the possibility of a third season elsewhere.

Will there be a Frasier season 3?

Frasier was cancelled by Paramount Plus in January 2025 after two seasons on the streaming platform, striking a major blow to its chances of continuing – however, not all hope is lost just yet.

Deadline has reported that the show will be shopped around to other broadcasters, one of which could stage a last minute rescue that would see it scrape through to a third season.

Such a revival would need to be confirmed in the relatively short term, before the cast and crew are formally released from any obligation to the show, and thus allowed to pursue other work.

Almost two months on, there's still no confirmation of where Frasier could find its second life, but star Kelsey Grammer has spoken optimistically about the sitcom's potential future.

He told The New York Post in March: "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."

We'll update this page once an update to Frasier's status is confirmed.

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 be picked up by another network or streamer.

That would point to a potential Frasier season 3 landing on Paramount Plus in autumn/winter 2025.

Who could star in a potential Frasier season 3?

If Frasier were to be renewed for a third season, we'd expect the full cast to come back for another round of laughs, barring any schedule clashes caused by the delay it is currently facing.

Grammer has also expressed interest in collaborating with The Good Place and A Man on the Inside star Ted Danson, who famously played Sam Malone on Cheers – the sitcom where Frasier made his first appearance.

However, there's no final word on whether that dream will become a reality.

Here's a reminder of the key players in the Frasier reboot cast:

• Kelsey Grammer as Frasier Crane
• Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frederick 'Freddy' Crane
• Toks Olagundoye as Professor Olivia Finch
• Jess Salgueiro as Eve
• Anders Keith as David Crane
• Nicholas Lyndhurst as Professor Alan Cornwall
• Jimmy Dunn as Bernard 'Moose'
• Renee Pezzotta as Smokey
• Kevin Daniels as Tiny
• Peri Gilpin as Roz Doyle
• Patricia Heaton as Holly Quagliano
• Greer Grammer as Alice Doyle
• Amy Sedaris as Dr "Doc" Stathos
• Yvette Nicole Brown as Dr Monica Finch
• Harriet Sansom Harris as Bebe Glazer
• Rachel Bloom as Phoebe Glazer

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 Frasier 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 [as 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.
