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.

So CBS has killed off monday nights so to speak. Every show other than MWAP has been let go. They are going to have fun replacing all that. As far as sitcoms they did not have a very good year next o Sheldon. So what no more monday night comedies or are they moving thursday comedies to monday and changing thursday lineup?

Not surprised, Leah Remini annoys me. Her voice, that smile, those overpuffed lips, just annoying.
Erinn Hayes was great and it was more of a family sitcom with her and the kids with their friends coming over. After Leah joined it just was too forced. It was like they tried to recreate King of Queens but with kids and it just didnt work. Also the family part seemed to take a backseat and only brought in for random plot points.
Also not a fan of Gary Valentine either.

Good. I hope they lost money on this. After they threw Erinn Hayes under the bus to remake King of Queens 2.0 I cant watch anything Kevin James the Douchebag is in anymore.

I’m not surprised! I liked season 1, but after they got rid of his wife and made Leah Remini a main character it became awkward and not good. It was like they were trying to relive King of Queens and the kids were put on the back burner. I’m so glad Man With A Plan got renewed. Now that is a funny show and so much better than Kevin Can Wait.

I loved this show. I love Kevin James and Leah Remini together. They have a great chemistry. I hated the wife in the first season. She was a horrible actress and not funny at all!! It's a sitcom, she needed to be funny.

First season was good. 2nd season wasn't. He should not have gotten rid of his wife. He lost my respect

All the good shows are getting the axe right now, except, of course, the wonderful reality shows. I've never watched one and don't ever plan to.
