Kevin Can Wait
Kevin Can Wait is an American television sitcom starring Kevin James that aired on CBS from September 19, 2016, to May 7, 2018. The series was created by James, Rock Reuben, and Bruce Helford, marking James' second starring role in a CBS sitcom, following The King of Queens (1998–2007). The show was directed by Andy Fickman.
The series began with James portraying Kevin Gable, a recently retired police officer from Nassau County, New York, and a father of three, who is married to Donna Gable (played by Erinn Hayes). However, in the second season, Donna's character is written out, having died, and the new female lead is Vanessa Cellucci (played by Leah Remini), Kevin's former rival from the police force who becomes his partner at their security company, Monkey Fist Security. While the first season centered on Kevin's family life and his transition into retirement, the second season shifts focus to his new career, partnership with Vanessa, and his life as a single parent.
On May 12, 2018, CBS canceled the series after two seasons.
Kevin Can Wait follows Kevin Gable (James), a newly retired Nassau County police officer living in Massapequa, New York, on Long Island, with his wife Donna (Hayes) and their three children: daughters Kendra (Taylor Spreitler) and Sara (Mary-Charles Jones), and son Jack Cole (James DiGiacomo). Initially excited about his retirement and plans to spend carefree days with his friends, fellow retired officers Goody (Leonard Earl Howze), Duffy (Lenny Venito), and Mott (Chris Roach), Kevin soon realizes that financial and family pressures complicate his plans. His eldest daughter, Kendra, returns home from college with her unemployed fiancé, Chale (Ryan Cartwright), and the couple moves into the family's garage. Meanwhile, Sara struggles with anger management issues, and Jack, the youngest, is a hypochondriac with anxiety, regularly seeking help from the school therapist.
During the first season, Kevin takes on various odd jobs to supplement his pension while dealing with the family's challenges, including Kendra and Chale's wedding. The first season primarily focuses on Kevin's interactions with his family, particularly Donna, though he is frequently shown spending time with his group of friends. Most scenes take place at the Gable household or at Enzo's, a local bar where Kendra works and Kevin socializes with his friends.
Season 2 begins more than a year after the events of the first season finale. By this time, Donna has died, leaving Kevin a widower raising his three children. He now works full-time with his former rival, Vanessa Cellucci (Leah Remini), at their security company, Monkey Fist Security. With Kevin's reentry into the workforce and Vanessa's more prominent role, the second season also introduces more supporting characters who had not appeared frequently in the first season. The Monkey Fist Security office becomes a key location, and the second season focuses more on Kevin's life as a single parent and his new career.
Several members of James' family appear in the series (in addition to James' brother and regular cast member Gary Valentine); his wife Steffiana De La Cruz appears in "The Back Out" and daughters Shea and Sienna James appear in various roles throughout both seasons. Remini's husband Angelo Pagán appears in "Business Unusual". Theme-song performer Mike DelGuidice and writer Mike Soccio have also appeared in the series in minor roles.
In October 2015, it was announced that Kevin James would star in a new family-comedy television series for CBS, with Rock Reuben as executive producer and Bruce Helford serving as showrunner. On May 12, 2016, CBS placed an order for the series.
