BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) – One person can’t change the world. But you can change yourself – and that kind of changes the world.
That’s a thumbnail description of “Kevin (Probably) Saves the World” as expressed by Michele Fazekas, a co-creator of the new ABC sitcom.
Jason Ritter stars as Kevin, who’s down on his luck and unconcerned with helping others. Then a spiritual figure pays him a call.
As Ritter told reporters Sunday, the reluctant hero he plays isn’t “exactly happy being asked to save the world.”
Co-creator Tara Butters promises the show will be both funny and not funny, serious and not serious. She says it’s all those things.
