Sad news: According to sci-fi uber site io9, Kyle XY has been canceled.
Including tonight, there are just four episodes left. Ever.
That’s a damn shame, because it was just starting to get good again after a rather lame Season 2.5.
Jessi and Kyle have been super-powering out the last few episodes, really testing their limits. The super-sappy Kyle-Amanda storyline may finally be at an end (yay! – and I used to be a Kyle-Amanda supporter, but I just can’t take her whining anymore), Josh and Andi are the new cute and we’re finally getting to see Latnok.
I finally saw last week’s episode last night, and seeing Kyle conduct electricity and jump (noislessly) from a height to kiss the memory blocker from Amanda’s head was really cool. How many high school kids can blow up a light bulb just by forcing electricity through it?
Kyle XY producer Scott Schofield told i09:
We’re all very sad about it.
No word yet on whether all the storylines will be wrapped up. It appears the episodes may have been completed already. If they’re not wrapped up, perhaps ABC Family wil be good enough to give fans a TV movie to clear up the rest?
Besides that, last week’s ep left me wondering if Amanda was going to remember everything – the kidnapping, etc., – because Kyle took the memory blocker out of her brain. Will that blow his cover?
I love the thought of Kyle getting plastered, though, which is what it appeared, from the previews, was going to happen.

We fans are all sad at the cancellation of this incredible show too. This seasons episodes were finished taping last August, I believe. It doesn’t look like there will be any closure for the millions of fans of this wonderful show. There are 1.5 million upset fans in the U.S. and possibly millions more in France and Spain where it was also popular.
Fans are trying to bring the show to the attention of other networks. Something I would hope the producers would also be doing. After all, they are the ones that made this show that we all fell in love with. We need some closure!!
ABC should have never buried this show on the family channel in the first place.
@Karen – If there are any specific fan movements, please let me know. I’d be happy to blog about them.
@Erika – yes
@Jack – True. It was a very weird choice to put it on ABC Family, I thought. That said, it probably wouldn’t have lasted as long on ABC itself, so it’s probably to our benefit it was.
