AMC orders Season 2 of 'Kevin,' starring Annie Murphy

Aug. 28 (UPI) -- AMC has ordered a second season of Kevin Can [Expletive] Himself, its dark sitcom starring Schitt's Creek actress, Annie Murphy.

"WEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Murphy tweeted Friday along with a middle finger emoji and a link to a Deadline story about the renewal news.

Variety reported the next eight episodes are expected to premiere on the cable network and its streaming platform AMC+ in 2022.

"It's Kevin's world, Allison's just living in it. Or is she?" Dan McDermott -- president of original programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios -- said in a statement.

"This series was built on a novel and unique concept, and the creative team on both sides of the camera, led by Valerie and Annie, delivered a highly entertaining first season that really got people talking and rooting for the sitcom wife as never before. We are excited to see this talented team move from the finale's cliffhanger and continue Allison's journey, pushing the bounds of conventional storytelling every step of the way."

Created by Valerie Armstrong, the show co-stars Mary Hollis Inboden, Eric Petersen, Alex Bonifer, Brian Howe and Raymond Lee.
