GOING DUTCH: Fox Orders Denis Leary-Led Comedy

Fox has ordered new comedy GOING DUTCH, starring Denis Leary. The single-camera comedy will debut during the 2024-25 season.

“We are thrilled to be back in business with Denis Leary,” said Michael Thorn, President of the FOX Television Network in a statement. “GOING DUTCH captures Denis’s comic genius and in-your-face storytelling style. Denis, Jack [Leary] and our showrunner and creator Joel [Church-Cooper] have brilliantly envisioned this original, offbeat take and inherently funny salute to the military workplace comedy. We also believe their show is the perfect comedy companion to our hit ANIMAL CONTROL.”

The series “centers on an arrogant loudmouth U.S. Army Colonel, who after an epically unfiltered rant, is reassigned to the Netherlands, where he is punished with a command position at the least important army base in the world. After serving with distinction in every warzone of the last three decades, he now finds himself in charge of a base with no guns, no weapons, and no tactical purpose. Instead, it has a Michelin-star level commissary, top notch bowling alley, and the best (and only) fromagerie in the U.S. Army. Surrounded by a diverse group of underdogs, the colonel tries to reinstall military discipline and professionalism with the help of the base’s previous interim leader, who just happens to be his estranged daughter.”

“I don’t think The Netherlands have ever seen such a collection of loud, selfish, screwed-up Americans,” said Denis Leary. “And it’s all FOX’s fault.”

“I was raised on the boundary-pushing FOX comedies of the ’90s, and I’m ecstatic to get the opportunity to continue the tradition for the next generation,” said Church-Cooper.
