Kevin Can F**k Himself: Amazon UK Set Aug Premiere For Dark Subversive Comedy
Amazon Prime has picked up the UK broadcast rights to AMC’s dark subversive comedy ‘Kevin Can F**k Himself‘, which stars the Emmy Award-winning Annie Murphy (‘Schitt’s Creek’) as a very different kind of sitcom wife…
The comedy follows the story of Allison McRoberts (Murphy), a woman we all grew up believing we knew: the prototypical Sitcom Wife. She’s beautiful and can take a joke (though she’s usually the butt of them). And she’s married to a guy who must’ve won some sort of marriage lottery, because she looks the way she does and he’s… funny?.. But what happens when we follow Allison out of her husband’s domain? When she finally wakes up to – and revolts against – the injustices in her life?
‘Kevin Can F**K Himself’ breaks television convention and blends multi-camera comedy with single-camera realism to make us ask: “who and what have we been laughing at all of these years?”
The series also stars Mary Hollis Inboden (The Real O’Neals) as Patty O’Connor, Allison’s tough, glass-half-empty neighbor who hides an intelligence and dissatisfaction that bonds her to Allison; Eric Petersen (Kirstie) as the protagonist husband Kevin McRoberts, Allison’s husky and “lovable” man-child; Alex Bonifer (Superstore) as Neil O’Connor, the football-loving, beer-swilling, dim-bulb best friend of Kevin; Brian Howe (Chicago Fire) as Pete McRoberts, Kevin’s father with a regressive sense of humour; and Raymond Lee (Here and Now) as Sam Park, a clean-cut, former Worcesterite who has history with Allison.
Kevin Can F**K Himself is created by Valerie Armstrong (Lodge 49, SEAL Team) and executive producers Rashida Jones and Will McCormack through Le Train Train (Claws, A to Z). Craig DiGregorio (Shrill) serves as showrunner and executive producer.
‘Kevin Can F**k Himself‘ Season 1 premieres Friday, 27th August 2021 on Amazon Prime UK.
