Fox’s cancellation of Going Dutch marks its first show cancellation of the 2026 season, highlighting the show’s struggle with low ratings. The comedy series aired for two seasons before being cut from the Fox network lineup.
Key facts:
- Going Dutch was the lowest-rated entertainment program at Fox.
- The show starred Denis Leary as U.S. Army Colonel Patrick Quinn.
- It followed Colonel Quinn’s reassignment to the Netherlands.
- Captain Maggie Quinn, played by Taylor Misiak, is the estranged daughter of Colonel Quinn.
- The show featured a diverse group of military misfits.
Initially, Going Dutch was considered for renewal because of Denis Leary’s popularity. However, it ultimately became clear that the series would not be returning. The decision comes as Fox has renewed other shows including Animal Control and Best Medicine.
This cancellation leaves Fox with just one live-action, half-hour comedy for the upcoming season. Observers noted that Going Dutch was the only scripted series on the bubble for Fox this season.
Fox’s upfront presentation for the 2026-27 lineup is scheduled for May 11, 2026. Fans and industry analysts will be watching closely to see how this shift affects Fox’s programming strategy moving forward.
