2) Erinn Haynes has joined the cast of Kevin Can F**k Himself in an unknown role

Kevin Can Wait star Erinn Haynes, who played Kevin's wife Donna for one season, is set to reappear on the spin-off series. However, her exact role has not yet been disclosed.

The network has only confirmed that Erinn Haynes will be guest-starring opposite Annie Murphy, Mary Hollis Inboden, Eric Petersen, and Alex Bonnifer in the second and final run of Kevin Can F**k Himself.

While the spin-off satire is not a direct parody of Kevin Can Wait, the sloppy dismissal of Haynes' character from the 2016 sitcom did serve as a jump-off point for the current series, which now seeks to explore gender roles in American family sitcoms.

3) Kevin Can F**k Himself trailer shows a possible fake death ploy on Allison's mind

Valerie Armstrong's dark comedy series is known for presenting contrasting perspectives on Allison's life through changing camera setups. Through a multi-camera setup and laugh tracks, she is portrayed as a stereotypical sitcom wife to her man-child husband, Kevin.

Another perspective is that of a woman stuck in a miserable marriage, presented through a single-camera setup typical of television dramas.

The trailer for Season 2 offers a glimpse at Allison's now-or-never plan to leave her husband finally. She declares that she needs to be "gone for good." The image of a cemetery cued in at this piece of dialogue suggests inspiration from Kevin Can Wait's Donna.

She was also shown googling how to fake her own death to escape her miserable 15-year marriage. Whether she will succeed in pulling off her disappearing act remains to be seen.

Tune in to the second and final season of Kevin Can F**k Himself on AMC or AMC+ on August 22, 2022, at 9 pm.
