The Big Picture Denis Leary is returning to TV. He's set to star in and executive produce the new military sitcom Going Dutch on Fox. Deadline reports that the show has been given a series order by Fox, and will premiere at mid-season.
The series will star Leary as a decorated US Army colonel who, after going off on a highly-offensive rant, gets banished to the least-prestigious posting in the world - an outpost in the Netherlands with no guns, no weapons, and no strategic importance. What it does have is a Michelin-star commissary, a bowling alley, and the best fromagerie in the Armed Forces - as well as a staff of misfits who Leary will have to whip into shape.
Who is Denis Leary? Close A stand-up comedian famous for his rants on masculinity and modern living, Leary has had a busy acting career, often playing cops or criminals. He started out with scene-stealing movie roles in The Sandlot, The Ref, and Demolition Man; his subsequent movie credits include George Stacy in the Amazing Spider-Man movies, and saber-toothed tiger Diego in the long-running Ice Age franchise.
Going Dutch will be created and showrun by Joel Church-Cooper for Fox Entertainment Studios. Leary executive produces alongside son Jack Leary, who was also a producer on Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, under their Amoeba production banner, as well as Church-Cooper. Going Dutch has been given a series order by Fox, and will premiere mid-season; no additional casting or release date has yet been announced. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
