AceShowbiz - Fox has decided to cancel the comedy series Going Dutch, starring Denis Leary, after its second season. This cancellation marks the network's first series cut this television season as it prepares to reveal its 2026-27 schedule during the Fox upfront presentation on Monday, May 11.

The decision to end Going Dutch was anticipated by industry observers. As reported by Deadline earlier this year in February, the comedy was considered the only scripted show on Fox's lineup in a precarious position, described as a "bubble" series. Similar to Fox’s other live-action comedy, Animal Control, which stars Joel McHale, Going Dutch is fully owned by Fox Entertainment.

While Fox has yet to announce all details of its upcoming programming slate, the cancellation of Going Dutch signals a shift in the network’s strategy as it evaluates the performance of its original scripted comedies. The show’s end comes ahead of the official upfront event, where networks typically unveil new and returning series for the fall season.

Though Going Dutch will not return for a third season, Fox continues to develop and maintain its comedy lineup, balancing owned properties and other scripted content. This cancellation reflects the ongoing competitive nature of broadcast television, where series renewals depend heavily on ratings, audience engagement, and network priorities.
