The total viewing audience for Kevin Can Wait got pretty consistent following the usual post-premiere fallout, though the comedy’s key demo rating for adults 18-49 has mainly gone down.
Kevin Can Wait had already earned itself the back nine episodes of its first year on CBS, with the network upping the initial 13-episode order to a full 22-episode run some months ago.
Even some cable shows getting dual-season orders don’t make it to 24 episodes in a season, so that’s a pretty big confidence enhancement.
But DVR viewing is pretty strong, though, which balances things accordingly, and CBS isn’t letting that (or behind-the-scenes shifts) stand in the way of giving audiences even more of Kevin James and Erinn Hayes’ Gable family, with an additional two half-hour installments now part of the lineup, according to Deadline.
