Rashida Jones, AMC Developing 'Kevin Can F*** Himself' From Sitcom Wife's POV
Kevin can certainly wait.
AMC is developing "Kevin Can Go F*** Himself," a serio-comic series created by Valerie Armstrong ("SEAL Team") and executive-produced by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack.
The show "explores the secret life of a woman we all grew up watching: the sitcom wife. A beauty paired with a less attractive, dismissive, caveman-like husband who gets to be a jerk because she’s a nag and he’s 'funny.'"
The title and synopsis are clearly inspired by "Kevin Can Wait," the CBS sitcom that starred Kevin James as a bumbling husband and Erinn Hayes as his very understanding wife. Then, her character was unceremoniously killed off after Season 1. The show was eventually canceled after Season 2.
AMC has not yet given a greenlight to the series. Instead, it has opened a writers' room, a new development process at the network. The same thing goes for "Rainy Day People," a new drama from "Halt and Catch" fire creators Chris Cantwell and Christopher C. Rogers. Set in a wellness center-style mental health and rehab facility, the workplace drama will focus on both the patients and the family and staff who have run the center in its various incarnations for the past 50 years.
