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?

Honestly what were they thinking putting on a show about a girl who’s pregnant instread of something new unique and original many others agree does abc not care what their fans/viewers want? I guess not…
Ok, so here I am one day, “Watcha watchin?” I ask my 14 year old daughter. “Kyle XY”, she says, “It’s a really good show.” She tells me a little about it and asks me if I wanted her to start it over back at the first episode. “Ok, sounds pretty good.” So, I end-up watching all three seasons in like three days or somthing (I couldn’t watch it when anyone else was around, because we were at different places). So I’m spending all this time watching it and all the while thinking to myself, “Wow, I really like this… Read more »
Wow! Is so amazing to hear that kyle XY is stopped on the way, well we the watchers will not enforce you to continue but only not to watch any movie from your company.
season 4 please!!!!! PLLLLLEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSEE!!!
Morethan a million Nigerian are waiting for the season 4, if you stop it, no one will entrust your company ever. The economic break down is the only reason you can tell the world, in order to agree with you. Nevertheless you live a history, you deceive the whole world if you stop it and a shame on the company.

Never had time to see the show on t.v. as it aired. Now that I have. I am addicted and found no 4th season. I was so disappointed. Very good show and love science. This was very interesting to me. I am not one to watch t.v. but this was a show that once I watched I couldn’t stop. Will keep looking and waiting to see if a 4th season pops up.
