Telly’s Take
Will CBS cancel or renew Kevin Can Wait for a third season? Season two started with very good ratings, but they quickly dropped after the premiere. However, this sitcom has remained fairly strong since then. It remains one of the network’s best-rated comedies so I think that it will be renewed for a third season. I’ll keep an eye on the ratings and will update this page from time to time. Subscribe for free updates on any Kevin Can Wait cancellation or renewal news.

What do you think? Should the Kevin Can Wait TV series be cancelled or renewed for season three? Did CBS make the right call, or the wrong one, when they replaced Hayes with Remini?
CANCEL I wasn’t a fan of King of Queens, so refuse to watch the attempt of a redo.
Cancel, nothing but a weird King of Queens follow-on. Should never have killed of Donna the only real talent in the show!
Renew love it
Cancel- very poor with Leah R joining show. Childish and immature
Cancel- childish humor and Leah R. Definitely contributed to the demise
cant describe how terrible this show is saying its crap is an understatement do everyone a favor cancel the show and put something better on
I love this show! The entire cast including Kevin and Leah are incredibly talented, great writing, and good chemistry. It is the best!
Please call time of death on this show. It’s an embarrassment to the King of Queens legacy…recycled plots and lame jokes.
I am really hoping that “Kevin Can Wait” will be renewed for a third season! I really enjoy the entire show and basically all the characters.
Cancel, if I want to see Leah I’d be watching king of queens
I am waiting hopefuly that the Kevin Can Wait show is renewed for a third season. I can only see this show getting better and better now. They have alot of funny characters on the show. Leah and Kevin work together perfectly and am happy that Leah came on the show. I watch one episode of Kevin Can Wait on season one and I just didn’t like it. But now I think it is a great show. Gary Valentine, Ryan Cartwright and Taylor Spieter. They are all good! And Ruger. he needs to be in every episode. He is very… Read more »
I think Ruker, the employee at Monkey Fist has great comedic timing. Very funny. I did not watch season one of Kevin Can Wait so I have nothing to compare it too.
I like the show very much! Kevin and Leah are great together and his children are very funny also. And Chase! It is like Kevin and Leah are together again but in a different kind of relationship. I think the characters really care for each other. I look every couple of days to see if the show has been renewed. I like the characters so much! Kevin and Vanessa are not Doug and Carrie. This is new and fresh! And it is nice to have Danny Valentine on the show. He is a riot! To just sit down in your… Read more »
Overall, it’s improved, and it was pretty good to begin with … lots of haters here. I wouldn’t bother to pan a show I don’t like, so why are people so hot to trash this one? I’m guessing they must have some sort of ulterior motive. Either that or no life. The show continues to grow and the supporting actors are stretching too. Gary Valentine is a hoot and, make no mistake about it, Kevin James is the glue … not the ex-wife. If he is more comfortable with Leah, so be it. This is a business like any other.… Read more »
If Kevin was a good actor ok. But he shouldn’t be telling the writers and directors who and who shouldn’t be on the show. He’s not that great of an actor on TV or movies. You can hear Kevin will be just another washed up actor try to be king. But he’s just a lonely peasant.
Oh, I didn’t know it was Kevin’s idea to drop his wife!!!
Not only is this a bad show but Kevin has no class at all!!!! I really enjoyed his wife and I think it’s a dirty thing to do!!!!!
Funnier with Leah. Donna wasn’t funny and no chemistry with Kevin. The kids aren’t very good though. It has improved in recent weeks, but the single father stuff isnt bringing rhe funny.
