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 just finished watching all the episodes on Netflix like in a week and at the end I realized that the final episode ends up whit unfinished business.I went online to see if I could find more episodes and there where none. What a bad thing that they could not continue this awesome TV show anymore and too bad that they really don’t even care about what we have to say anymore because it would be great to see how the story ends. I also believe that a lot of people still cares about this show even though that it… Read more »

I was completely shocked when i found out they canceled the show. I just got hulu plus on Xbox then i found that show. I was completely obsessed. I just really wish they would make a fourth season just to finish it off. But ABC ovisily doesn’t care about the fans. every company everywhere is always about the money.

Kyle xy is a great show and I’m severely disappointed. Bring the show back!
pls pls pls i really need the season four of kyle dis is one of the most interesting seasonal film i seem to be obssesed with so pls i need the season four i luv kyle so so much
Ugh I hate how they canceled this show! They can’t just leave us hanging that way! They reveal that Cassidy’s mother is also Kyle’s then what? NOTHING! ='(
The show has died two years ago.Pointless to argue with em right now,better off to support another show like the Supernatural rather than ABC family shows. Move on 🙂 forget about kyle and i personally think that they don’t even give a DAMN about the fans comment and do you think that they will just continue the Season 4 just because the fans wanted it to? What? Are you Joking? Seriously? JOKER ABC FAMILY!
Please don’t cancel season 4… I need to find out what happened… there is to many loose ends…. please don’t cancel the show. ABC 🙁
