TV's reboot fever may be calming down a bit, but there are still some projects under consideration. One of them is a reboot of 90s sitcom Frasier, and its star recently revealed some of plans going on behind the scenes. Read on for details.

Kelsey Grammer has revealed that there are “six different ideas” in contention for a reboot of Frasier.
Grammer lifted the lid on the “continuation” of the NBC series on British talk-show Lorraine. This comes after Deadline broke the news last year that Grammer, who also exec produced the long-running comedy, was in talks with CBS Television Studios and writers on a pitch to bring the show back.
Grammer was recently spotted in London with a Frasier script. “That little folder is filled with six different ideas that are all in contention for what may be the new Frasier. A continuation of Frasier. They’re similar, it’s a new life, in a new city.”
He added that an important element would be to replace John Mahoney’s Martin Crane after the actor died last year. “Of course, John Mahoney died so you’d need to replace that energy, perhaps like they did on Cheers with Coach, they found Woody, who had the same kind of sensibility.”
When Frasier ended its 264-episode run in 2004, the title character was seen leaving Seattle for Chicago.
