Fox’s cancellation of Going Dutch on May 4, 2026, marks its first show cancellation of the season, highlighting the show’s struggle with low ratings. After two seasons, the comedy series failed to resonate with viewers and became the lowest-rated entertainment program at Fox.
The series featured Denis Leary as U.S. Army Colonel Patrick Quinn, who was reassigned to the Netherlands, attempting to restore order among a diverse group of military misfits. Captain Maggie Quinn, portrayed by Taylor Misiak, is his estranged daughter, adding a personal dynamic to the storyline.
Despite some initial optimism about the show’s renewal—largely due to Leary’s popularity—the writing was on the wall. “Going Dutch’s cancellation doesn’t come as much of a surprise,” noted industry insiders. The show was the only scripted series on the bubble for Fox this season.
Fox has had better luck with other shows; it recently renewed Animal Control and Best Medicine for new seasons. With Going Dutch now off the slate, Fox will head into next season with just one live-action half-hour comedy.
The network’s upfront presentation for the 2026-27 lineup is scheduled for May 11, 2026. As for what comes next for Going Dutch, fans are left wondering if any future projects featuring its cast will emerge.
