The meta-dark comedy show follows the journey of a no-nonsense sitcom wife, Allison McRoberts (played by Annie Murphy).
The plot of Kevin Can F**k Himself reads:
"Kevin Can F... Himself" is a dark comedy that alternates between traditional multi-camera sitcom and single-camera drama. Set in Worcester, Mass., the series follows the journey of Allison McRoberts, a stereotypically smart and beautiful sitcom wife, who is married to Kevin, a husky, self-centered man-child who is clearly punching above his weight."
It further states:
"After making a dark discovery, Allison teams up with neighbor Patty O'Connor as she attempts to escape the confines of her life and take control of her fate."
The show also boasts several talented cast members, who were instrumental in making the first season worth the hype. Thankfully, most of the members from the previous season will reprise their roles.
