Aubrey Plaza's Animated Cat Series 'Kevin' Dropped by Prime Video After One Season

Prime Video has canceled the animated series "Kevin" after a single season, co-creator and executive producer Aubrey Plaza announced on Instagram. The show, which Plaza created with her then-boyfriend Joe Wengert, centered on the adventures of their real-life rescue cat, a tuxedo cat named Kevin. "I am sad to announce that Prime Video has decided not to renew our animated series 'Kevin' for a second season." Plaza shared the news directly with fans, expressing disappointment but holding out hope for the series' future. According to Deadline, she added that she hopes the show "will find a new home elsewhere," signaling that the team may shop the project to other platforms. TVLine reported that despite the unique premise and the involvement of notable creators, the streaming platform opted not to move forward with additional episodes. The series followed the misadventures of Kevin the cat, blending Plaza's deadpan humor with Wengert's writing. The cancellation comes as streaming services continue to tighten their slates, often ending shows after one season regardless of creative pedigree. For Plaza, the project was a personal labor of love inspired by her own pet, making the news particularly stinging for fans of the offbeat comedy. Whether another network picks up Kevin remains to be seen, but Plaza's public plea suggests the cat's story may not be over yet.
