Kevin (Probably) Saves the World just wrapped its first season, but will there be a second? Recently, executive producers Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas spoke with TVLine about the future of the ABC TV show.
The dramedy stars Jason Ritter as Kevin Finn, a self-involved and materialistic man who begins receiving instructions from a heavenly guide. The cast also includes JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Kimberly Hébert Gregory, Chloe East, J. August Richards, Dustin Ybarra, and India de Beaufort.
Even though ABC has not announced a season two renewal for Kevin (Probably) Saves the World, Butters and Fazekas says they have plans for more character development if the show returns:
Kevin is on a need-to-know basis. And the interesting thing about having Amy in the fold is: Amy is not necessarily going to take whatever Yvette’s answer is as the answer. She’s going to demand a lot more. And then even with Dave, Will Sasso’s character, they assume that Dave is dead. I don’t know that dead always means dead. That’s the great thing about a show like this, where you can make your [own] rules. … [But] I never want see where they’re from, because that will never be that interesting. I always feel like, in some ways, it’s more interesting to leave that to the viewer.”
When asked about the show’s renewal chances, Fazekas says it’s unclear at the moment but they have hope for a season two:
We’ve been with ABC for a while. ABC typically doesn’t make final decisions until right around the time of upfronts. I know they love [Jason Ritter]. I know [ABC President] Channing [Dungey] has said they love, creatively, where the show is. So that’s all we know. You have to operate under the assumption, “We’ll get a second season. Let’s set ourselves up for a good second season.” … There are so many other factors: It’s how their pilots come in, how the rest of their season goes, and what their schedule is going to look like. So there’s a million different things that go into their decision making, and because they’re all out of our control, it’s like I can’t even bother spending a lot of energy on it, because I can’t do anything about it.”
What do you think? Have you seen Kevin (Probably) Saves the World? Do you want a second season?
This is a favorite for our family! Being able to send a positive message with humor is a rare find. We need a second season of this show!
Love the show !!! It’s family friendly for a refreshing change!!
Please RENEW Kevin! My husband and I love this show!
Love this show. Great concept and hilarious characters.
Please bring Kevin back i love his chemistry with Yvette.
Please continue this show. I DVR the show but promise to watch the commercials! It’s a great, upbeat show to watch at the end of the day after the doom and gloom and over the top drama of much of television today. (Not to mention the news!) Please give it more time.
I enjoy this show a lot and I would love to see it continue. It’s a great show to provide a change of pace from all the other doom and gloom and drama on tv. I like the direction of the show and I’ll pay attention to the sponsors!
I love this show and the characters are great. I have always been a fan of Jason Ritter and he fits this role perfectly. Like the combo of drama and comedy.
Please renew the show! It’s great, different, funny, sweet, and a refreshing change!
I absolutely love this show! My mom and I record it and watch it together every weekend. We both want the show renewed for season 2 very much!
Gotta give it a second season & stick it in a different timeslot!!!
Yes…Please Please Please renew. I’m tired of all the *** and ass, murders.etc that we see all the time. I want a show my Kids and i can watch. I’m tired of all the body parts jokes. Kevin is a show my Kids can watch without the above stated. But sadly it will get the ax to make room for more tits and ass and murder.
Yes my Husband and I LOVE the show so much Please renew it! It’s so different then every other show that’s what makes it so interesting. Please bring it back for another season.
Not only just want more seasons of Kevin – I NEEEED it to continue.
So PLEASE do the right thing and do season two. Thank you so much.
An awesome show that the whole family can watch. The 10:00 time slot does not make sense to me, this would be a good 8:00 or 9:00 show.
