TV show description:
A fantasy comedy-drama from creators Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, the Kevin (Probably) Saves the World TV show centers on Kevin Finn. While he is not the world’s worst person, Kevin is self-involved, self-centered, and materialistic.
He is just starting to wake up to the fact that his obsessions with status and possessions have not brought him any happiness. At his lowest moment, Kevin is confronted with an incredible mission: it is up to him to save the world.
While wallowing in his own misery, Kevin goes back home to Texas to stay with family. A widow, Amy (Swisher) is his twin sister, and the mother of a teenaged daughter, Reese (East). Their relationship has faded with time and distance, so Kevin doubts they can repair their connection.
There, Kevin experiences a sequence of unbelievable events — not the least of which is a meteorite crashing near the family home. He then meets Yvette (Gregory), his heavenly guide. She informs him that 36 righteous souls are born into each generation. Their very existence protects the world, and he is the very last of his generation.
Humanity is on the precipice of a catastrophe. Without the 36, everyone on Earth will begin to lose the only thing keeping them going — hope. Whether or not he wants to fulfill it, Kevin’s mission is to “power up” his soul. The only way to do so is by committing selfless acts of kindness.
Should he stay on the straight and narrow, Kevin will eventually be able to locate and anoint the next generation of righteous souls. Yvette, meanwhile, will protect and guide him, train and instruct him, and most of all, brook no insolence from him.
Series Finale:
Episode #16 — The Right Thing
Kevin struggles with the idea that his relationship with Kristin might be in jeopardy while helping a stranger honor his deceased uncle’s burial wishes. Yvette makes a drastic decision regarding her future with Kevin by involving a celestial colleague named Cindy (Leslie Jones guest stars); and Amy receives an unexpected visit that changes everything.
First aired: March 6, 2018.
What do you think? Do you like the Kevin (Probably) Saves the World TV series? Should this TV show have been cancelled or renewed for a second season on ABC?
Really enjoy the show. Jason has come into his own in this show. It is easy to watch but has a mystery element.

This show is great! I look forward to the night it comes on and am devastated when it doesn’t. It should not even be considered for cancellation. It is an original that met a demand for something new.
Please bring the show back! I love it!
Kevin (probably) saves the world is a great family show! Let it live! Sue & Wayne
I love this show and I hope they renew it!
I really like the show and hope and pray they make more shows like this. It’s funny, entertaining and positive. Too much garbage and negative depressing shows on TV this days, but not this one.
I absolutely love this show. Jason Ritter is wonderful! I don’t care much for the girlfriend, the whiny teacher…I think they should write her off, but I love the rest of the cast!
My wife and I enjoy the show. I hope it its renewed.
Love this show! This is one of our favorites. Light hearted with a good message. The cast is really good.
A very good show. We enjoy the characters and like that it is different. Hoping for a season 2.
My favorite show to come along in quite a while. I hope it gets renewed. The awesome cast and crew deserve more seasons!
A very refreshing change from all the shows about self-absorbed “suits”, crime, and inane sit-coms. The whole family gets together to watch. Need more like it.
Wonderful show! Please O Please renew.
Jason Ritter does a wonderful job, love all the characters on this show.
Please don’t cancel
