Kevin Can Wait: Cancelled; No Season Three for CBS Monday Night Sitcom

by Jessica Pena, May 12, 2018

Kevin Can Wait TV show on CBS: cancelled, no season 3

When it escaped today’s earlier cancellations, it looked like Kevin James might get a third season with his most recent sitcom, but that was not to be. CBS has cancelled the Kevin Can Wait TV show, and now the fans’ wait has come to an end. EP Andy Fickman broke the bad news. Check out his announcement, below.

A CBS sitcom, Kevin Can Wait stars James as Kevin Gable, a former police officer who, after the death of his wife, finds himself working for his old rival, Vanessa (Leah Remini), at her security firm.  The cast also includes Taylor Spreitler, Ryan Cartwright, Mary-Charles Joes, James DiGiacomo, Gary Valentine, and Leonard Earl Howze.

 

 
Kevin Can Wait: A Look at the Ratings

The second season of Kevin Can Wait averged a 1.18 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 6.37 million viewers. Compared to season one, when it averaged a 1.61 rating in the 18-49 demo and 7.63 million viewers, season two was down by about 27% and 17%, respectively.

Of the 27 CBS TV shows we’ve been tracking through the regular season, Kevin Can Wait ranked sixth in terms of its demo average, but sunk to 15th place, when we sort by average total viewership.

CBS Cancellations and Renewals

In addition to Kevin Can Wait, today, CBS cancelled two other TV shows: Superior Donuts and Scorpion. The network also renewed six series: Criminal Minds (season 14); Man With a Plan (season three); Life in Pieces (season four); Instinct (season two); Big Brother: Celebrity Edition (season two); and Elementary (season seven).

Good deal because the show was awful in the second season Leah Remini is no longer funny at all. Not even sure King of Queens would work anymore with her.

If you want a show with Doug & Carrie on it, it’s got to be “The King Of Queens 2.0” life with their children, that would have been a hit!

King of Queens is one of my favorite shows but this show ‘Kevin Can Wait” lost me in the first season. Not really very funny and Kevin always seemed to be trying to hard to be funny … which he was not. Liked it somewhat better with his Wife the first season. Especially liked Chale, he was pretty funny and his oldest daughter. Although I like Leah, the match between the two didn’t work in this show. Just to forced.

I am very sad Kevin Can Wait has been canceled. Not many shows get me to laugh out loud anymore, and this one sure did! I will miss it terribly! Kevin and Leah were great together-like Lucy and Ricky- and I can’t believe this show did not make it!

Losing Hayes was the demise of this show. Still good, but not great.

great show!
Chemistry between Remini and James still amazing
Bas Rutten and Chale are hilarious all TLM Catholics.
It will be picked up by another network.

I think where this show failed is when they killed off his wife Donna I thought she was much funnier than oh what’s her face that played on king of Queen with him. You blew it BIG TIME!

Mistake! Corporate makes these kind of decisions and they dwindle until they are no more, more straws and nails. One less reason to watch CBS.

Bring it back. Great sitcom and the only thing CBS had going for them on Monday nights. Bad call CBS. Now you have nothing worth watching. At least the show had good laughs and something to look forward for on Mondays. Please bring it back

James fired Hayes and then the audience fired James. Good to see that enough viewers stopped watching after season 1 in protest of the Hayes firing. Big mistake!

I was very disappointed that Kevin Can Wait was cancelled. I loved seeing Leah and Kevin again! I thought there performances were excellent together. Together again yes, but with a new twist! Please bring them back together again! Maybe a reboot of the King of Queens!
