Kevin (Probably) Saves The World is coming up on its release date of Tuesday, October 3rd. This post focuses on why ABC might have chosen that time slot and the pros/cons of what it is up against. With a 10pm slot, I feel Kevin (Probably) Saves The World will be more of an adult show, rather than an angelic-drama for the family to enjoy. Majority of the cast are adults and with a religious tone, it most likely will be harder for a younger audience to understand.

The hour-long pilot will be aired directly after 4 of ABC’s 30-minute shows (The Middle, Fresh Off The Boat, Blackish and The Mayor). The Mayor is their only new series which have received positive reviews. The only problem is, Kevin (Probably) Saves The World is up against NCIS: New Orleans and Law and Order True Crime. Any viewers interested in crime shows, which there are a lot of, will automatically go to one of those shows. The benefit of this time slot though is that there are no other types of angelic-dramas so there will be no competition in that category.
