After three seasons, ABC Family’s Kyle XY TV show is coming to an end. Will viewers get answers to the ongoing storylines about the young man without a belly button?
Kyle XY centers around a young man (Matt Dallas) who wakes up in the middle of a Seattle forest — naked and without a memory. The police call in psychologist Nicole Trager (Marguerite MacIntyre) for assistance and she ends up bringing him home. Her husband Stephen (Bruce Thomas), daughter Lori (April Matson), and son Josh (Jean-Luc Bilodeau) almost immediately take to “Kyle” and make him feel like part of the family. He begins to show incredible intelligence and physical abilities that lead the Tragers to realize there’s far more to Kyle than meets the eye. Others in the series include Chris Olivero, Kirsten Prout, Jaimie Alexander, Nicholas Lea, Chelan Simmons, Magda Apanowicz, Martin Cummins, Leah Cairns, J. Eddie Peck, Teryl Rothery, Conrad Coates, Cory Monteith, Josh Zuckerman, Kurt Max Runte, and Malcolm Stewart.
The show premiered on June 26, 2006 on ABC Family and became an instant hit. It attracted 2.6 million viewers and became the cable network’s highest-rated show to date. The pilot was repeated on ABC and over 5.2 million people watched. The first season was made up of 10 episodes and the show was quickly renewed for a second year.
Kyle continued to enjoy very healthy ratings into the second season. They were so good that ABC Family ended up ordering 23 episodes, a longer season than most series on the major networks. In May 2007, ABC Family president Paul Lee proudly said, “Kyle XY is the highest-rated show ever on ABC Family; it is truly the show that has defined this network.”

Unfortunately, that sunny outlook didn’t continue for very long once the ratings started to fall in the latter part of season two. Kyle’s third season’s premiere episode attracted just 1.5 million viewers and other ABC Family shows outperformed it by a wide margin.
ABC Family has just announced the renewal of two shows — Greek and Lincoln Heights — as well as the cancellation of Kyle. No details were given for the cancellation but the decline in ratings, higher production costs, and castmember contracts coming up for renewal are all believed to be contributing factors.
The third season of Kyle kicked off on January 12th and is expected to conclude on March 16th. It seems likely that the network will continue to air all of the episodes on schedule.
Because the series finale was shot well before the cancellation news came down, it seems unlikely that all of the show’s ongoing storylines will be resolved when the last episode airs. Will fans get the answers they’re looking for or will they be left hanging forever?

I don’t get it why don’t you release the season 4 or at finish the season 3 with happy ending not just like that ending with no reason
This is so upsetting that they ended Kyle XY in this manner! I beg of you to revive this TV show!!
We need the final ending i think if you continue now. Ther’s a lot of viewers so many fans are waiting up to now. So please
Please continue
We want to contribute in any ways, just please continue the series.
It’s typical of abc as with other stations to cancel popular show/series and renew crappy ones like abc did. I’m an older person and really loved this series. I agree with others we need closure and need season 4 maybe longer. This was a clean series!
Please release season 4
Every tv show has to shows ending moment this has no ending moment many if us waiting for the next episode… If does suicide for the show hs no ending don’t make the show in the first season… Got all wrong everybody still watching.
Please bring show back! Why would you leave us faithful fans hanging like this! No burning!
Mình nghỉ kyle xy season 4 sẽ hấp dẫn hơn nhiều. Năm 2022 huy vọng sẽ ra kyle xy season 4
Finish the seasons. We need closure.
Pls bring the season 4 out seriously we need it I cant find it
I really miss that show
I think it’s very impossible for the show to continue, yeah, its been over 10+ years since the last season. All the cast have grown already, their appearance must have changed, they don’t look the same as they were before… It’s just like wishing to bring back your dead loved ones… Let’s just accept it..
Even 5 more episodes so we can get closure on the series …Jesse accepting Kyle together with Amanda …the end of laknot ect
Please bring Kyle xy back it’s one of my favourite series to watch
I really enjoyed watching Kyle xy it is so good and interesting also entertaining and they should bring back all the season of it.
