Kelsey Grammer has addressed the future of the Frasier revival. In an interview with Deadline. the five-time Emmy winner shared if he thought a second season could happen. “We’ve been kicking around some ideas,” Grammer said. “But they mostly revolve around the idea of Frasier finding happiness and becoming a good father and having breakthroughs at college.”
Grammer continued: “Maybe Frasier could become an important person in somebody’s life [as a professor]? He’s always getting into trouble in one way or another so I’m sure that’s going to continue to happen. Who knows what’s gonna arise? We do have really talented writers who will come up with some ideas and we’ll discuss it. It’s a collaborative effort and I think we’re going to be fine but I have no beans to spill at this point.”
