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.

My favorite new show. Incredible acting-funny and touching story lines. I will be so sad if they leave me hanging.
This is one of the best shows on the air. I hope it gets picked up for another season. It’s at its core..a show about being kind, and the effects not only on the person you help, but yourself. In today’s world, we need more of this. It’s inspirational without being preachy. And the cast is great!
This is a fabulous uplifting show i’ve been binge watching on HULU and can’t put it down. I’ll be tuning in on ABC in the future please don’t cancel this show !
I love this show. It is pure joy and boy do we need a little joy these days. The family is wonderfully imperfect in their healing and growing. Kevin’s growth and love of everything beautiful in his life is a gift. I’m hoping more people will realize what a gem this one is. Jason Ritter deserves an Emmy for his comedic and dramatic performances. Thank you for this show. It. Is. Pure. Joy.
