Aubrey Plaza Says Prime Video Canceled Animated Series ‘Kevin,’ Says She Hopes for a New Owner

Plaza co-created the animated Prime Video series about a talking cat, and she marked the cancellation as disappointing while expressing hope the show can continue under new ownership.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

Prime Video has canceled its animated series “Kevin,” and co-creator Aubrey Plaza publicly reacted to the decision, calling it “very disappointing” and saying she hopes the show will be able to continue if a new platform or owner picks it up. The news was reported by Deadline on June 20, with Plaza making the announcement the same day.

“Kevin” was created by Plaza and her co-creator, ex Joe Wengert, and it follows the premise of a talking cat. In her comments, Plaza used the show’s “nine lives” concept as a metaphor for its future, saying she hopes it will get more opportunities and “find a new owner someday,” according to Deadline’s report of her remarks.

Deadline said Prime Video has “apparently” opted to put the series down, indicating that the streamer has chosen not to move forward with the show’s run. The report frames the outcome as a platform decision, leaving open whether other rights holders could pursue the property elsewhere if distribution options arise.

Plaza, who Deadline described as a Golden Globe nominee, co-created “Kevin” for Prime Video. Her statement points to the practical reality that animated series often depend on platform renewals to remain in production, and that once a streamer passes, continuation typically requires new financing, new distribution terms, or a transfer of rights.

A new owner, if one materializes, would likely determine whether “Kevin” can be revived, adapted for another audience, or restructured for a different format. But as of the reporting date, the only confirmed development was Prime Video’s cancellation and Plaza’s public hope that the series could continue through a different business arrangement.

Deadline’s report does not describe an immediate replacement home for the series or a specific timeline for any rights transfer. The next step, if any, would depend on negotiations among the show’s creators, rights holders, and any prospective buyers or distributors interested in acquiring the intellectual property.

Why It Matters

  • The cancellation reduces immediate production prospects for “Kevin” on Prime Video, affecting show labor and downstream release planning tied to a streamer’s schedule.
  • If rights move to a new owner, the series would face new business terms, including funding, distribution, and licensing arrangements.
  • Creator-led commentary can influence viewer attention and potential buyer interest, but any continuation would still depend on deal-making around the show’s intellectual property.
  • For audiences, the decision changes where and whether “Kevin” may be watched or carried into future seasons.
