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?

This is an outrage I’m comming to your head office abc and you best believe I’m starting a protest
infact i think season 3 was very good,i felt all of stars grownup i think it was very nice .
in my openion i think the third season was the best season at all. i loved it , i am wondering about cancelling reasons. why now? it is very bad timing….
i am really shocked..
Don’t cancel Kyle XY!! ABC can’t leave it hanging cause the end episode of season three wasn’t even a proper ending!! Save the Tub!!!
I can’t believe this.
I haven’t been following this show since the beginning, I just started semi recently.I had nothing to watch anymore because my old favorite show ended and I saw the Season DVDs for Kyle XY at Walmart and I thought they looked pretty good. So I bought one and spent hours watching it. I loved it. So I continued watching episodes online and I finished season Three. I Looked up “Kyle XY Season Four” and then realized it was discontinued. This is a HUGE downer. This was an amazing show.
Renew it. Please.
I need kyle xy season 4 I need to know what happens. I feel like when season 3 ended that I’m lifted hanging cause that was not a good ending. I want to know if he gets back with his ex or moves on to Jessie, does he really believe that Mrs. King is his real mom, and if he stops landnock once in for all.
plz do somerthing
i need kyle XY
plz plz plz don’t just stop the show like this it desreve better then that from u
I cannot believe ABC!!!!!!!!! You CANNOT finish a season like that. ABC should have at the very least made a few Kyle XY specials to answer all the unanswered questions raised at the and of the third season instead of axing the show altogether. Although admittedly the show began to suck towards the end the thing that sucked the most was axing it like ABC did. PLEASE JUST TO PUT US OUT OF OUR MISERY HAVE A PROPER END OF SHOW EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!
is there anyone here to give me a mail adress from the director or one of the actors so i could ask them to continue on what they were to….
plz if there is anyone can help give me the mail….
OMG! are you kidding?
plz bring back Kyle….
i want him back
The ABC family know what?
The muppets that decide to kill tv shows should at least let them air a decent ending that wraps things up. I am so sick of watching things that dont end decent as they get dumped by the network. This is the real reason new tv shows dont get massive viewer ratings, ppl are worried to watch them in case they are scrapped and its so annoying to spend all that time watching and then be told thats it, game over. Wasters the lot of them !!
if ABC wants to make their viewers happy, the show must go on.
ABC Family should bring back Kyle. I would like to see whats going to happend between him, Amanda and Jessi. This is the greatest series I’ve ever watch. I suppost that many fans would like to see another ending and of course a happy one. And of course I would like to see the end of the bad guys. Please bring Kyle XY back. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
please, if ABC ever wondered of viewers and valued them so much, thne i guess you better do the right thing for your viewers, this is what i have ever seen in tv shows ever, please do this for us, we miss kyle so much, is he going to be together wlth jesse, co zit would seem so perfect, n i would love it that way, please, bring season four back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
