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 loved this show so much that I am so frustrated they decided to end it like this.
One of the best shows that I have come across in television.
I hope they decide to bring it back.
Just finished watching Season 3, and it came to my attention that there isn’t a season 4…. Why end season 3 the way it did if there wasn’t going to be another season? If they knew that there weren’t as many viewers then they should have made the season 3 finale AT LEAST 2 1/2 hours to get the point across… It is very stupid that this show ended the way it did, but it is even more stupid that the people who created kyle xy ended the season, not caring about the people who actually watched it… Way to… Read more »
i agree with you i kinda love that show they need to make a season 4
Listen this is not acceptable because you have to continue something you started. This is an very inspiring show and may help others in many ways. How can you take this show from us even if you the evil people who took this show. Must of not watched this show it means alot in different ways. So bring back this show I don’t care about secret life of an American teenager because we live that dumb life so why watch it. I ask or beg for you to bring a continuance to the most amazing sitcom there is Thanks.

I believe Kyle XY should continue for every purpose. Thus, this show is unbelievably amazing. It have kept me awake since I’ve first seen it and without it I’m just so lost and so dead. I need this show and it can’t be cancel now. It has come to far to be cancel now. It’s my dream…and I actually did have a dream about it after knowing it ended at season 3. I wanted more. All I ask is for that this show to continue to the end where there is a satisfying outcome and not some Southern Gothic bleak… Read more »

I can’t believe they cancelled season 4! I also finished watching all 3 seasons on Netflix and absolutely LOVED the show. Really wish they would have continued with season 4 or at least a conclusion to the show. How depressing 🙁
I had just finished watching the first three seasons of Kyle XY on netflix and it was an awesome show. To bad they cancel good shows such as this so that they can play those ridiculous reality shows.
Same here. So disappointed that everything is always about money and making profit from people who actually takes time watching TV shows. Kyle XY shouldn’t be cancel because of its small, proportional views.
