What happens

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. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
