Can anyone save Kevin? ABC has ordered three additional episodes of its new Kevin (Probably) Saves the World TV show, bringing the season one episode order to a total of 16. Whether that means the low-rated freshman dramedy is cancelled or renewed for a second season is a bit more complex. It has been languishing in ABC’s problematic 10:00pm Tuesday timeslot and has failed to draw the sort of Nielsen numbers typical of a successful, new TV series.
From creators Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, Kevin (Probably) Saves the World stars Jason Ritter as the self-involved Kevin Finn, who learns he is the last of his generation’s 36 righteous souls meant to power it with the hope that can save the world from destruction. The ABC cast also includes: JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Kimberly Hébert Gregory, Chloe East, J. August Richards, Dustin Ybarra, and India de Beaufort.
Kevin (Probably) Saves the World: A Look at the Ratings
The first season of Kevin (Probably) Saves the World is averaging a 0.76 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.26 million viewers. When sorted by its demo ratings, it ranks 14th out of ABC’s scripted TV shows, and is 13th, in terms of average total audience size.
While hearing a network has ordered additional episodes may not seem like bad news on the cancellation and renewal front, it is somewhere between probable and likely that there will be no season two of Kevin (Probably) Saves the World. A small back order like this is often more about the network filling a timeslot than an indication that they will order a second season.
Although ABC has posted the episode order news to its press site, Deadline has confirmed the order.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Kevin (Probably) Saves the World TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for season two on ABC?
Please….this is the best show in a really you long time. Please give it time and marketing.
I love this show! Finally an intelligent ‘feel good’ show, (versus the usual silly family sitcoms), in this era of depressing news, crime shows & medical dramas. I love Jason Ritter, (I didn’t know he was so comedically talented), and I look forward to every episode. Please keep Kevin on the air!
I LOVE this show! It’s very imaginative, creative, and a ray of hope in a dark, depressing TV environment. Sometimes I just want to get away from the violence of other shows and be truly entertained. This show makes me laugh and smile.
I love this show, it makes me happy. It is nice to have a show about positivity instead of all this negativity. I tell everyone to watch, hopefully they will enjoy it too.
Why is this on at 10pm? This is good, family show. Adults can watch this with their kids. Put it on earlier.
Kevin (Probably) Saves the World is the best TV show in many years. My husband and I started watching TV again because of the show. It has everything: interesting and entertaining plot, good actors, comedy, drama, and an inspiring underlying message.
This a great show! My husband and I looked forward to watching it every week, with all the bad in the world, this show is a breathe of fresh air, we love Kevin!! Bring on season 2, please!!!!
My favorite show of all time, I really hope it comes back for a second season
My wife, sister-in-law, niece and a few friends love this show. It’s a breath of fresh air and Jason Ritter is perfect for this series. With all of the violence in the world today, it’s nice to watch a feel-good story. Please keep Kevin around. We want to see where it’s heading.
Please keep this magical heartfelt show running. We are all loving it! Entire cast, crew and writers are so awesome! ♥️
Please don’t cancel! This is the best show. Check out the fan page on Facebook. You’ll see testimony about how sweet this show is.
I love this show. Please renew Kevin (probably) Saves the World. It is a light-hearted show, full of love, and the world needs more things to smile about these days.
My whole family love this show! Please keep it. It is the only show we sit down as a family to watch. Please keep it!
This is an AMAZING show. It is hard to find a show the entire family can watch together now days. I think a better time slot would boost ratings. 10pm is WAY TOO LATE for a family show. 7 or 8pm would make a world of difference in the ratings. I telleveeyone I know the need to watch it and would VERY disappointed if it was cancelled.
I LOVE this show! It would do much better in an earlier timeslot. It’s clean, fun, and a show I would really really miss. The writing, acting, editing, and production are all fantatic! Please renew for season 2, and move to an earlier time!!
