‘Kevin Can F**K Himself’ Trailer: Annie Murphy Tries To Finish Her Murderous Plan In The Final & Second Season

“Schitt’s Creek” star Annie Murphy had an inspired idea for her life post the beloved Canadian sitcom—dive into something completely different, and the dark genre-bending comedic series, “Kevin Can F**K Himself,” is very different and kind of ingenious. Created by and executive produced by Valerie Armstrong (“Lodge 49,” “SEAL Team”)—with Rashida Jones and Will McCormack executive producing as well—“Kevin Can F**K Himself” was born from a brilliant and inventive idea that’s a little bit like, “Everybody Loves Raymond” can f*ck himself. Inspired by how much the creator hated those kinds of sitcoms and how casually sexist they were, the lazy, useless husband at the center, “Kevin Can F**K Himself” was a kind of response about a woman trapped in that relationship—represented in a traditional multi-camera sitcom presentation—and then grappling with her real dark, depressing life in a much harsher, single-camera drama.

Starring the aforementioned Annie Murphy, her character Allison McRoberts plotted to kill her husband in season one. At the end of season one, Neil (Alex Bonifer, “Superstore”), Kevin’s best friend and neighbor— and Patty’s brother—learned of their murderous plan and vowed to blow their cover. Now in the second and final season, Allison and Patty scramble to deal with Neil, pushing Allison to find a better way out. Altering the original escape plan, Patty once again agrees to help Allison, but this time, on her own terms.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Set in Worcester, Massachusetts, Kevin Can F**K Himself probes the secret life of a type of woman we all grew up believing we knew: the prototypical sitcom wife. Allison McRoberts (Murphy) is married to self-centered and “lovable” cable guy Kevin (Eric Petersen, Kirstie), but after a dark discovery, Allison teams up with neighbor Patty O’Connor (Mary Hollis Inboden, The Righteous Gemstones) to take drastic measures to escape her confines and take control of her life. She’s going to kill Kevin.

The series also stars Brian Howe (“Chicago Fire”) as Kevin’s father Pete, Raymond Lee (“Here and Now”) as Allison’s ex-boyfriend Sam Park, Jamie Denbo (“F Is For Family”) as Allison’s aunt, and former boss Diane, and Candice Coke (“The Algerian”) as Patty’s girlfriend, Detective Tammy Ridgeway. Erinn Hayes (“Kevin Can Wait”) will make a guest appearance in season two.
