Denis Leary Leads Going Dutch Fox Cancellation After 2 Seasons
Going Dutch Fox cancellation arrived this week, ending the Denis Leary sitcom after two seasons. The series, which premiered in 2025, will not return for a third run as Fox clears space for its next broadcast schedule.
Denis Leary and Fox
Going Dutch starred Denis Leary and also featured Taylor Misiak, Danny Pudi, Laci Mosley, and Hal Cumpston. Joel Church-Cooper created the series and shared showrunner duties with Hilary Winston, while Leary, Jack Leary, Church-Cooper, and Winston executive produced it. Fox’s decision closes out a short run for a comedy that had only recently finished its second season last month.
The Colonel Patrick Quinn setup
The show centered on U.S. Army Colonel Patrick Quinn, played by Leary, who is reassigned to the Netherlands after “an epically unfiltered rant” and lands at what the synopsis calls “the least strategic army base in the world.” The same setup gave the series its military-sitcom frame, with Misiak as the estranged daughter who had been serving as the base’s previous interim leader.
The cast was broader than the lead role alone, with Dempsey Bryk, Arnmundur Ernst Björnsson, Catherine Tate, and Kristen Johnston appearing in recurring roles. That kind of ensemble usually gives a comedy more room to stretch beyond a single character, but Fox still drew the line at two seasons.
Fox’s 2026-2027 slate
The cancellation lands as Fox prepares plans for its 2026-2027 broadcast season, and the network is expected to bring back Animal Control and much of its animation content. For viewers, the practical takeaway is simple: Going Dutch is off the board, and Fox’s comedy bench is being reshaped around titles it already plans to keep.
