It looks like Leah Remini is back at CBS full time. Deadline reports the King of Queens star will be a series regular on season two of Kevin Can Wait.
The sitcom revolves around Kevin Gable (Kevin James), a newly retired police officer who lives in Massapequa, New York. The cast also includes Erinn Hayes, Mary-Charles Jones, James DiGiacomo, Taylor Spreitler, Ryan Cartwright, Leonard Earl Howze, Gary Valentine, and Lenny Venito.
Remini recently guest-starred as undercover police officer Vanessa Cellucci on Kevin Can Wait‘s two-part season one finale. The appearance was a reunion for Remini and James, who used to co-star on the CBS sitcom King of Queens.
Now, it looks like that reunion will be long term as Remini will be joining the cast of Kevin Can Wait full time next season. Season two is slated to debut on CBS on September 25th.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Kevin Can Wait? Are you glad Remini is joining the cast full time?
Yeah Leah is coming onto the show but they’re taking Kevin’s wife out. I loved Kevin and Leah back for a couple of episodes but why ruin a perfectly good so by taking a character out. That’s just not right!
Show is good… its nice to be able to watch a show with mixed company/ages.. it is funny, please keep this show on the air… Kevin James is above average – does good work… Leah Remini is a good fit.. she has good comedy timing… Kevin and Leah have good chemistry together on screen… the entire current cast are on target… now it is up to the WRITERS to ensure this show continues to be a winner.. this could lead to a Leah Remini spin off series, … CBS executives need to step it up big time to ensure that… Read more »
A cameo now and hen would be funny. But taking Kevin’s new show, already funny and on it’s own, doesn’t need a cast member fron a previous show.
It cannot hurt because the show is really bad. Perhaps, Leah can bring some spark to the show.
It not good thing if they have to reply on past. No harm but need a lot then this fix the show.
I get your feelings here without basis intentions. Look at population. There is a problem looks like rating might stay as now. Or drop . People be honest about this. The time on does not met what ratings have be at this time.
I hope she doesn’t take time away from Kevin’s current wife on the show. And I think Leah Remini’s make-up is too heavy.
This show is very lame. When Leah turned into a very mean shrew to him on King of Queens I lost interest in that show. When she appeared on Kevin she was just as nasty so I don’t see this as a good turn of events. She will get more screen time and the family & his former officer friends will likely become a back story (not a bad thing in general). I expect this is a desperate attempt to improve ratings but I won’t care as I won’t be watching.
then why you waste time hating on the show if you don’t watch the show
Cause they asked what we thought…
Sounds great to me! She’s a wonderful actress and person! I love this show already, so it just adds to the hilarity of it!
Love Leah Remini and Kevin James together. Glad she will be a regular!!
Best thing that could have happened to an already great show. Leah and Kevin are terrific together. Can’t wait gor the premiere.
I will be very happy to see Leah Remini on TV again, particularly with Kevin James! I am a fan of Leah.
Great decision! There is chemistry between them both. Looking forward to season 2.
They should be good together. I really enjoyed the first season, especially the wife. Glad the show was renewed.
That’s awesome Leah remini is joining the show. I liked the show before she was on. But they still have the chemistry. The king of queens was a favorite of mine.
Good for Leah! Take that, Scientologists!
