AMC orders Kevin Can F*** Himself and 61st Street to series

Deadline

Kevin Can F*** Himself is an apparent response to Kevin James' Kevin Can Wait, told from the sitcom wife's point of view. "It looks to break television convention and ask what the world looks like through her eyes," according to Deadline. "Alternating between single-camera realism and multi-camera comedy, the formats will inform one another as we imagine what happens when the sitcom wife escapes her confines, and is full of rage." Kevin Can F*** Himself was created by Valerie Armstrong with Rashida Jones and her producing partner Will McCormack serving as executive producers. 61st Street, from The Night Of's Peter Moffat, follows Moses Johnson, a promising, black high school athlete, who is swept up into the infamously corrupt Chicago criminal justice system," per Deadline. "Taken by the police as a supposed gang member, he finds himself in the eye of the storm as police and prosecutors seek revenge for the death of an officer during a drug bust gone wrong. Timely and provocative, 61st Street is set against the systemic abuse happening in some of our country’s most vulnerable communities."
