No Season 3 for the Kevin James comedy.
May 12, 2018
It is being reported that CBS has cancelled Kevin Can Wait after two seasons. Andy Fickman, an executive producer on the show, broke the news with a post to his Instagram account, thanking his cast, crew, and writers.
The comedy starred Kevin James in his first leading role on television since his nine-year stint on The King of Queens. He played a recently-retired police officer looking forward to having more free time to spend with his family and friends. But when his oldest daughter decides to drop out of college, Kevin puts his plans on hold and moves her and her fiancé into his home so that she can stay in school.
The half-hour series was a decent performer on Monday nights, though ratings slipped during its sophomore run after the show replaced original cast member Erinn Hayes, who played Kevin's wife, with Leah Remini, who previously co-starred with James on The King of Queens.
The show's final episode, now its series finale, aired just last week.

Can't stand Leah Remini, and Kevin James was simply not funny. Replacing Erinn Hayes was a stupid move and this proves it.

I bet Erinn Hayes is throwing a Karma Party about right now. That's what you get for listening to the Donna haters, no fan asked for Donna to be killed off. They were just jealous. She was a wonderful actress, and didn't deserve to be fired, she did nothing wrong, what was the excuse she was fired? Oh there was no excuse. Nothing against Leah but her characters are loud and annoying, that is why KCW was canceled. Season 1 was hilarious until the last two episodes, and Season 2 was just dumb.

Thank goodness this got canceled. I watched out of pity because I love both Kevin James and Leah Remini. I would’ve preferred having the real king of queens revived. Free of guilt to stop watching.

Botox may have helped some keep a "stiff upper lip" on this show.. but it's cancellation is LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG overdue. It was mediocre at the start.. then worse when they brought in Remini.

While this was an okay show, they really dumbed down Kevin in it and it was NOT funny. Not sad to see it go.

While I don't think Kevin James is a douche no one wanted to see King of Queens 2.0. I think the whole fat guy beautiful wife genre should be dead.
