(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?
Love love love the show and characters!! We have the whole family watching and just made our extended family’s fans too! It’s just the type of show that’s so enjoyable and something we need on tv now! I’m so sick of killing or detective shows!! Love this show and would like to see it in prime time!!
How can we save Kevin?!?!
My family loves this show!!! We did not know it existed until the 13th episode! We binged watched it on demand. It is not only hysterical but inspirational!! Please bring it back for season 2!!!
My husband and I cannot wait to watch this show every week! It is fresh, original and fun to watch ! We hope it continues!
KPSTW is one of the best family shows on network tv. It’s hard to find good clean shows to watch with my teenagers and this is the one! We make dinner and watch it together every week. Please don’t take away from us. Please – please keep Kevin!
Like everyone posting, this has been one of my favorite shows since Malcom. It’s frustrating to fall in love with a show that may not make it. It was easy to identify with Kevin, this past year has been the most challenging for my wife and I, though we have seen through this hardship together. We all face adversity. Kevin is that show that reminds us we can see these things through and hav much to live for.
Love this show, please renew for a second season. Great to watch with the kids, good family comedy!
YES!!! Please renew for a 2nd season!? This show brings a lightness, positivity, and fun to the screen, and into life, that is so sorely lacking in today’s world!! We need for this show to continue!!
We enjoy watching this series. It is one of very few that are still family friendly. Great lessons in humanity! Love it!
This show should absolutely be renewed!! It is a brilliant show, so different from so many other cookie cutter shows, the characters are actually characters you care about, relatable with a myriad of emotions and ranges, show makes you and cry sometimes in the same episode. Trust me, this will do for abc what Crazy-ex girlfriend did for the CW. It’s a keeper
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KEEP KEVIN PROBABLY SAVES THE WORLD!!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER WATCHED!! IT HAS THE BEST MESSAGE TO THIS WORLD ON HOW THINGS SHOULD BE AND HOW PEOPLE SHOULD BE THAN ANY SHOW HAS EVER HAD!!! YOU HAVE TO SAVE KEVIN PROBABLY SAVES THE WORLD!!! WE DVR IT INSTEAD OF WATCHING IT LIVE I HOPE THAT DOESNT HURT THE RATINGS. WE JUST ARENT HOME AT THAT TIME!!! PLEASE PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!!!!
Please don’t cancel this show. I really don’t watch tv that much but this show really caught my attention. The reasons being is that it’s funny, it teaches or helps you get through life situations, and it also teaches people in this world to be kind and caring by helping others with their difficult life situations.
This is a great show!
I love this show and hope they renew it for another season. It’s funny, uplifting and Jason Ritter and cast are great. Finally a show with a positive message, humor, great story lines and I can watch it with my kids!
I really enjoy this show and am sad to hear it is still cancelled. Next weeks episode will be the season finale, hope it doesn’t turn into the series finale
Kevin(probably) is one great show! Great vibe of the Human Spirit ! Please bring it bacK for 2nd,3rd,fourth,etc sesasons!
