Will Kevin James and Leah Remini do a new TV show?
Many fans also want Kevin James and Leah Remini to do a new project. But it was just a few years ago when Leah and Kevin tried another sitcom together. James reprized his lead role in 2016's Kevin Can Wait. Remini started out as a guest star but eventually joined the main cast as well.
However, due to low ratings, the series was canceled by CBS after the second season. If the two will take on another project together in the future is probably in the stars.
Kevin James recently released the sports comedy film Home Team and is touring the US with a stand-up show. Leah Remini, on the other hand, is primarily involved in raising awareness against Scientology. She left the sect in 2013 after more than 30 years of membership.
After Remini's exit, Kevin James stood by her side. She told People magazine in 2017 that he reached out and offered his full support, which meant so much to her.
It seems Kevin James and Leah Remini have developed a precious friendship where they are always there for each other.
