Since Kevin (Probably) Saves The World has not aired yet, I wanted to devote this blog post to the religious themes throughout the show. I want to see if this could be detrimental or possible bring a new light to broadcast entertainment. The show has been classified as an angelic-themed drama with the lead actress JoAnna Garcia Swisher saying it reconnects you with spirituality. The show dropped the word ‘Gospel’ from the title in July, which definitely helped widen the audience.

Jason Ritter, the main actor in the show, agreed with my point. He told the Hollywood Reporter that “It felt like the original title could be interpreted as exclusive right off the bat,” limiting the audience to only ‘faith-based’ viewers. At the end of the day, creators Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas want the audience to connect to Jason on his journey to become a better person. Whether you are religious or not, anyone can connect to that on some level which is why I found it very smart to drop the word ‘Gospel’ from the title.
