Kevin Can F**K Himself
(Season 2) – AMC+ Exclusive
Premieres Thursday 1 December with first two episodes and a new episode premiering each week
“A pointed hybrid of broad sitcoms and crime dramas… [this] potent concoction is one of the few high-concept series that pulls off both parts” – Indiewire
Alternating between traditional multi-camera sitcom and single-camera drama, this ambitious, genre-bending series starring Emmy® Award-winning actress Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek) returns for its second and concluding season. Set in Worcester, Massachusetts, Kevin Can F**K Himself probes the secret life of a type of woman we all grew up believing we knew: the prototypical sitcom wife. Allison McRoberts (Murphy) is married to self-centred and “lovable” cable guy Kevin (Eric Petersen,Kirstie), but after a dark discovery, Allison teams up with neighbour Patty O’Connor (Mary Hollis Inboden, The Righteous Gemstones) to take drastic measures to escape her confines and take control of her life. She’s going to kill Kevin. At the end of season one, Neil (Alex Bonifer, Superstore), Kevin’s best friend and neighbour – and Patty’s brother – learned of their murderous plan and vowed to blow their cover. Now, Allison and Patty scramble to deal with Neil, pushing Allison to find a better way out. Altering the original escape plan, Patty once again agrees to help Allison, but this time, on her own terms.
Mood
AMC+ Exclusive
Season finale premieres Sunday 4 December with full season available to binge
“Based on this series, it’s obvious that Lecky is a charismatic and versatile performer with a distinctive writing voice…” – The Hollywood Reporter
“Mood never comes across as derivative.” – TIME Magazine
Sasha Clayton (Nicôle Lecky) dreams of becoming a major recording artist, but right now she’s a bedroom artist: spending her days smoking weed and stalking her ex-boyfriend (Jordan Duvigneau, My Mum Tracy Beaker) on Instagram. When she is kicked out of her family home for drunkenly trying to burn her ex’s house down, Sasha becomes homeless and is forced to fend for herself, sofa-surfing with local drug dealer Saleem (Mohammad Dalmar).
Everything seems to change when she meets and moves in with Instagram influencer and party girl Carly (Lara Peake, Brave New World), who introduces her to the exciting world of making money and becoming ‘famous’ on social media. But as the gap between her online presence and her dream of being a singer continues to grow, Sasha finds herself struggling to escape this new influencer world that is more complex and darker than she could have imagined. Based on her critically acclaimed Royal Court play Superhoe the series is told in part through the songs that Sasha creates and features an innovative original soundtrack performed by Lecky.
