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?
I love this show! I’m so sad it was canceled. It was thought provoking and every episode was interesting.
I loved the. show and was hoping for season 2! It was a good uplifting show.. Sorry to see it go.
Why does ABC not give good shows a chance? This was a wonderful show & Jason Ritter was adorable in it. Great cast with a Gilmore Girls whimsical feeling. There is literally so much CRAP on TV, why don’t they give cute shows a chance to find their stride?
This show was not given the proper time it should have plus shoved to the 10pm/9pm. I love this show for so many reasons and it had so much potential.
The cast was remarkably, the stories awesome, and the whole concept was so needed at this time! Shame on you ABC! A Bad Choice!
I love this show! Please don’t cancel! This is a good family shoe, a light hearted comedy that has deep meaning! If you cancel , you will be losing a lot of diehard fans. The actors on the show are amazing, and Ritter
Is A-1! Please don’t do this!
I love the show. It is nice to see a family oriented show that also talks about God.
Please do not cancel this show, this is a show that families can watch together, the only thing it is on to late,.
This was such a ‘feel good’ light comedy, it should be renewed. It’s overkill to have a million detective/cop/ die today tv shows with a limited amount of good family series and cast! Don’t cancel!!
finally a show that a family could watch together and feel good about life, gone
Kevin (Probably) Saves the world is definitely a keeper! This show must come back for Season 2
Please, please keep this show on the air!!!
I love this show!!! Please renew it. I really like the story lines and the characters. I love the whimsy of it. We need more shows like this to remind us of how to better and kinder humans.
I think this is a funny show. Please renew it. I will continue to watch. I like the cast members.
Keep the show on. Never saw others mentioned Joan of Arcadia or other one mentioned.
Please don’t cancel. It is a great show and a great cast! ABC listen to the viewers!
