Kelsey GrammarSeems like life is not over for Frasier after all.

The popular sitcom -- aired on Star World at 2130 every Monday -- may get a new lease of life, as Paramount and NBC discuss the possibility of a new series, reports People magazine.

Frasier, which kicked off in 1993, revolves around Seattle radio psychiatrist Dr Frasier Winslow Crane (played by Kelsey Grammer).

The show, which began as a spinoff of another hugely popular sitcom Cheers, will end its 10-year run this season.

It has won several Emmy Awards and made Grammer the highest paid actor on American television, earning him $1.6 million per episode.

Interestingly, Lisa Kudrow told NBC's Today show that she was the first choice to play Frasier's assistant Roz Doyle. Kudrow went on to become a star with Friends, where she played Phoebe Buffe.

The makers of Frasier are contemplating introducing Kudrow's character in Grammer's life.
