Fox Cancels Denis Leary Comedy 'Going Dutch' After Two Seasons

The move signals Fox's focus on higher-rated or externally licensed series going into its May 11 upfronts.

Overview

  • The series, which Fox canceled Monday, ends after two seasons that wrapped with an April 23 finale.
  • The Hollywood Reporter says the comedy averaged under 2 million viewers in weekly linear ratings during 2025–26.
  • Deadline reports the show was fully owned by Fox, lacked a Netflix licensing deal, and trailed Animal Control, which delivers extra revenue.
  • With this decision, Fox’s 2026–27 slate features Animal Control as its lone live-action half-hour comedy, with its Animation Domination lineup returning.
  • Critics were positive, with coverage citing an 85% Rotten Tomatoes score, but mixed audience response and modest TV ratings undercut renewal hopes ahead of the upfronts.
