The piece directs readers to TV Insider for more context on production and places Plaza and Wengert at the center of Kevin’s creation.

At the time of reporting, Amazon had not issued a public comment regarding the cancellation.

The animated series Kevin, co-created and executive produced by Aubrey Plaza, has been canceled after its first season on Prime Video, with Plaza expressing disappointment and gratitude to fans, the cast, and the crew.

Plaza suggested there could still be life for Kevin under new ownership someday, drawing a parallel to early uncertainty around Parks and Rec and noting industry challenges.

In an Instagram post, Plaza thanked fans, the cast, and the crew as Kevin had just begun to gain traction.

Kevin premiered on Prime Video on April 20, 2026, with Dan Murphy and Joe Wengert as showrunners and a directing team including Casey Crowe, Sarah Seember Huisken, Michael Moloney, and Angelo Hatgistavrou; Plaza and Joe Wengert contributed as writers.

All eight episodes are available on Prime Video, where the series remains accessible as discussions continue.

The show received mixed reactions, with Rotten Tomatoes showing about 60% critics and 82% of viewers giving it a positive score.

The series was produced by Evil Hag Productions in collaboration with Titmouse and Amazon MGM Studios, with further production credits noted by industry outlets.

Plaza’s Evil Hag Productions led production efforts alongside Titmouse, Inc. and Amazon MGM Studios.

Critics highlighted Kevin’s blend of raunchy humor and heartfelt self-discovery, set in New York, with an over-the-top premise involving animal characters and a feline-led tone.

The voice cast includes Jason Schwartzman as Kevin, alongside Whoopi Goldberg, John Waters, Aparna Nancherla, Amy Sedaris, and Gil Ozeri, with guest stars such as Addison Rae and Patti LuPone.
