Denis Leary Sets Military Comedy ‘Going Dutch’ at Fox

Fox has given a series order to “Going Dutch,” a comedy series starring and executive produced by Denis Leary.

Per the official description, the single-camera 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.”

Joel Church-Cooper will serve as showrunner. Executive producers include Church-Cooper, Leary and Jack Leary. Fox Entertainment Studios will produce, while Fox Entertainment Global distributes. “Going Dutch” marks Fox Entertainment Studios’ second wholly owned live-action comedy following “Animal Control.

“We are thrilled to be back in business with Denis Leary. ‘Going Dutch’ captures Denis’s comic genius and in-your-face storytelling style,” said Michael Thorn, president of Fox Television Network. “Denis, Jack and our showrunner and creator Joel 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.’”

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

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