From 2003 to 2005, Jason Ritter played Kevin Girardi on Joan of Arcadia, which was cancelled after two seasons on CBS. On that show, his character’s sister Joan (Amber Tamblyn) was visited by God, who gave her assignments which at first seemed inconsequential, but generally caused positive ripples in the lives of those she touched. This year, Ritter debuts on ABC as another Kevin. Now, it is his turn to complete celestial assignments. Can he work miracles? Will Kevin (Probably) Saves the World be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An ABC comedy-drama from creators Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, the Kevin (Probably) Saves the World TV show stars Jason Ritter, JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Kimberly Hébert Gregory, Chloe East, J. August Richards, Dustin Ybarra, and India de Beaufort. The fantasy TV series centers on Kevin Finn. While he is not the world’s worst person, Kevin is self-involved and materialistic. While wallowing in his own misery, Kevin experiences a sequence of unbelievable events, then meets Yvette (Gregory), his heavenly guide. She informs him that he is the last of the 36 righteous born into his generation. Without the 36, everyone on Earth will begin to lose the only thing keeping them going — hope. Now, it is up to Kevin to “power up” his soul by committing selfless acts of kindness, so he can locate and anoint the next 36 and (probably) save the world.

We Are Talking About “Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Not Some Dead Show Get Over It I Have Had Shows I Like Got Axed But I Am Not Going On Here Whining About It
Please renew! One of the few shows on TV that I can actually stomach. Jason Ritter is awesome and the rest of the cast as well. With all of the reality TV junk taking over, it’s great to see a show with some integrity and leaves you feeling not only entertained but uplifted.
Love this show, fresh and different!
Yes I do
This is an awesome show! most people do not know what it was about and missed the episodes, but had they known and seen them this show would be a serious heavy hitter with giant fan base. I hope and pray that they do not cancel this series, it is cleverly written, cute, not smutty, and good for all ages, I myself caught up on shaw on demand, please don’t cancel this series.
Kevin (Probably) Saves the World should get cancelled by ABC.
Sadly we all know it will be cancelled because it’s a good clean show. They can’t keep good shows just things that have tons of sex, violence and cussing.
Please don’t cancel Kevin probably saves the world!!!
It’s like the funniest, most heart felt , loving great show!’
It’s like having jack back!! I really really love this show!!!
Really love this show. Easily my favorite new show. Makes me sad to see the ratings fall week after week.
Keep this show. It’s funny and still has such a wonderful story line.
This show is a breath of fresh air!! You feel good after watching it. I vote to keep Kevin (Probably) Saves The World. There is so little to watch that is worth ones time. I hope it makes it!!
This is an amazing show that got stuck in a horrible and horribly inappropriate time slot! This is a phenomenally cast show that is appropriate for the whole family, but it airs at 10 pm! Save this show, so that Kevin can (probably) save the world! At the very least, give it another season in an 8:00 time slot!
My husband and I love this show! It’s light hearted, funny and has a good message. Jason Ritter is hilarious in this. Heard to find anything that isn’t violent or depressing these days.
