Overview
- Aubrey Plaza and co-creator Joe Wengert said on Instagram Saturday that Prime Video will not order a second season of Kevin after its eight-episode debut.
- The series premiered on Prime Video in April and the full first season remains available to stream despite the cancellation.
- Wengert thanked the cast and crew for their work while Plaza called the news “very disappointing” and compared the decision to NBC’s past patience with Parks and Recreation.
- Kevin was co-created by Plaza and Wengert, featured a high-profile voice cast including Jason Schwartzman, Amy Sedaris and Whoopi Goldberg, and drew mixed-to-positive reception with roughly 60% critics and 82% audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes.
- Amazon has not publicly explained the decision, leaving open the possibility the creators will seek another platform while the cancellation fuels debate over streaming-era quick cutoffs for new shows.
