Kevin was trying to save the world but he couldn’t save himself from cancellation. ABC has decided to cancel Kevin (Probably) Saves The World after only one season.
To be fair, the show was well-received by critics but was in a very difficult timeslot on Tuesday’s at 10 PM. It opened with a soft 4.2 million viewers and a 1.0 rating in adults 18-49 (Live+Same Day), and its ratings slipped in most of the subsequent weeks.
Jason Ritter played Kevin Finn, who’s not a good person. He’s not terrible, but he’s selfish and clueless and values material wealth and status over all else. And he’s beginning to realize that those things aren’t making him happy — in fact, he’s fairly miserable. Just when things seem to be at their worst, he finds himself tasked with an unbelievable mission: saving the world. An unlikely celestial guide delivered incredible news: In every generation, there are 36 righteous souls on Earth whose mere existence protects the word. Kevin, she tells him, is the last of them. The series also starred JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Kimberly Hébert Gregory, Chloe East, J. August Richards, Dustin Ybarra and India de Beaufiort.
