Original show director James Burrows candidly reveals his ominous prediction about Kelsey Grammer's Frasier reboot, which concerns its longevity.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Director James Burrows has an ominous prediction about the Frasier reboot. While he is best known for co-creating Cheers, the legendary director went on to helm many episodes of the most iconic sitcoms including Friends, Will & Grace, and the original Frasier. While only Kelsey Grammer is returning as a series regular in the new Paramount+ show, Burrows joins him to helm the first two episodes of the series.
Speaking with The Guardian as part of the press rounds for the nearing premiere of the Frasier reboot on Paramount+, Burrows admits that he doesn't think that it will last very long. It isn't because he doesn't believe in the series, but because of the changing TV landscape, especially as the comedy moves to a streaming platform instead of being in a traditional network. Read the related excerpt below:“I’ve had a ball. It’s added years to my life – because of the laughter.
Why The Frasier Reboot Needs More Than One Season For context, Paramount+ has only ordered a 10-episode first season for the Frasier reboot. For now, it's unclear if there are plans beyond that, but understandably, the focus is on launching the new show first. Meanwhile, its predecessor ran for 11 brilliant seasons on NBC, which allowed the writers to really develop its narrative and the cast to fully own their respective characters.
As someone who worked for a long time with Grammer, Burrows may have already shared his thoughts about this with the series star and producer. With this idea in mind, the writers and producers can be more intentional with how they progress their narratives, ensuring that they have satisfying season finales in case the Frasier reboot gets unexpectedly canceled. This prevents the project from wrapping up with an unnecessary cliffhanger.
