(ABC / Guy D’Alema)
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?
One of the few shows on the air with an uplifting message. We need more shows like this. So refreshing and Jason Ritter is one of my favorite actors. If it gets poor ratings it is because it needs a better time slot. Give Kevin another chance. Maybe with a new day and time.
Please leave on! Yeah
Please keep it!!!! This is my favorite show out. I literally wait for new episodes to be released. Don’t get rid of it!!!!
Please keep it! Excellent show!
I LOVE this show. So refreshing. Jason Ritter is a phenomenal actor.
Please save this show. I’m an atheist and find the message in this show resounding as it doesn’t hit hard with the god thing, but it’s more about righting what’s wrong with the universe.
I love this show me snd my daughter can’t wait each week to catch the next episode, the cast is great we love the quirkiness, please don’t take it off the air
I really love this show! It’s a feel-good kind of show and that is honestly really hard to come by these days. I and many others watch this show on Roku, so it may not show up on ratings!
This is my favourite new show, please let there be a season two.
Don’t cancel this show! I’m getting sick of abc wasting everyone’s time on their shows and then canceling them. They should get an award for canceling the most tv shows
I can’t believe that you would cancel this show. There is so much garbage on all of the networks today. This show is a feel good show and we need more shows like this.
I love this show #SAVE KEVIN!!!!!
I’m always excited to watch this show. I watch it the next day as we are asleep by 10. I’m a gen x and your demographic for this show is way wrong. I’m always amazed at how funny it is. I’m either crying or laughing. I love the take away. I love that my kids can actually be around when I watch it without the dead they are going to hear or see something inappropriate. My kids will even sit to watch parts and laugh at some of the things Kevin does. Please don’t cancel one of the greatest shows.… Read more »
