Despite not featuring some core members of the original Frasier sitcom, Kelsey Grammer is recording success with his new reboot series, which is set to be renewed for season three. Executives are confident that the ongoing show can last for another decade, seeing its performance so far.
A source revealed that Kelsey gets up to $2 million per episode of the Frasier reboot, which premiered in October 2023 on Paramount +. A source explained that Kelsey has been living up to the end of the bargain so far, hence the impressive incentive he is getting from reprising his role as Frasier Crane and serving as executive producer.

As of this year, Kelsey’s net worth is reportedly around $80 million, and his earnings from the Frasier reboot have contributed significantly to this. An insider commended his daring move to bring back Frasier with new faces rather than fan favorites like Ted Danson, Woody Harrelson, or David Hyde Pierce.
The source added that the fresh cast costs a lot less compared to the original’s actor, which is favorable for Kelsey as he watches every penny to keep the sitcom afloat. So far, 69-year-old Kelsey has been surrounded by enthusiastic cast members, who consider Frasier as their potential big break.
Kelsey Grammer shares details about ‘Frasier’ season three
Kelsey discussed season three of Frasier with ScreenRant in September, noting that they have interesting locations to explore once they get approved. Showrunner Chris Harris said they are yet to take advantage of Boston, which is where Cheers happened.
The plan is to make Frasier Crane run into someone familiar at some point. Meanwhile, Kelsey is looking to explore areas like Crystal Springs and The Mulvihill Wine Cellar. He is also cautious about not ruining people’s idea of what the reboot should be, which is to explore Frasier’s next chapter and fresh dynamics.
