According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fox has renewed the comedy series Animal Control and Going Dutch, making them the only two comedy series scheduled for next season. This renewal marks Animal Control’s fourth season and Going Dutch’s second season.
Animal Control stars Joel McHale (Community, The Happytime Murders) as Frank Shaw, Vella Lovell (The Big Sick, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) as Emily Price, Michael Rowland (The Life List, Adult Best Friend) as Fred Taylor, Ravi Patel (Meet The Patels, Master of None) as Amit Patel and Grace Palmer (Good Grief, The Driver) as Victoria Sands. The series follows a group of local animal control workers who are complicated by the fact that animals are simple, but their daily lives as people are not.
Going Dutch includes Denis Leary (Rescue Me, The Ref) as Colonel Patrick Quinn, Taylor Misiak (Ten Year Old Tom, Dave) as Captain Maggie Quinn, Danny Pudi (Mythic Quest, Krapopolis) as Major Abraham Shah, Laci Mosley (Yes We Cannabis, The Wedding Year) as Sergeant Dana Conway (Spin the Bottle, Safe House) and Hal Cumpston as Corporal Papadakis. The series follows an Army Colonel who is punished by being sent to a remote base in the Netherlands, which serves no military purpose. While in the new base, the Colonel is met with his estranged daughter who recently ran the base.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, Fox Television Network president Michael Thorn (Teen Wolf) said in a statement, “Animal Control and Going Dutch are proven winners thanks to signature Fox characters brought to life by Joel and Denis two of the funniest comedic voices on TV today, giving us an ideal foundation for building our new comedy block. With a focus on creating irreverent, fun workplace humor that’s both outrageous and unpredictable, Joel, Denis, their castmates and production teams deliver reliably laugh-out-loud moments week after week.”
Animal Control and Going Dutch are both produced by Fox Entertainment Studios and are available to stream on Hulu.
