Schitt's Creek's Annie Murphy lands the lead in AMC's Kevin Can F*** Himself

Deadline

Murphy will play Kevin's sitcom wife Allison who looks to break TV convention in the comedy loosely inspired by Kevin James' Kevin Can Wait. “Annie is an undeniable talent with the ability both to play comedy and to break your heart. She is the perfect fit for the role of Allison, the perfect actor to bring to life creator Valerie Armstrong’s genius vision,” said AMC Networks president Sarah Barnett. “Cracking open the conventions of the ‘classic’ American sitcom to expose what’s swirling beneath, in this highly inventive and entertaining way, is the kind of story we are hugely excited to tell at AMC.”
