Overview

• Fox has officially renewed 'Animal Control' for a fourth season and 'Going Dutch' for a second season for the 2025-2026 TV lineup.
• 'Animal Control,' starring Joel McHale, has been a standout performer, doubling its Live+Same Day ratings through streaming on Hulu and selling in over 70 international markets.
• 'Going Dutch,' led by Denis Leary, retained nearly 100% of its 'Animal Control' lead-in at its premiere and is Fox's most-streamed new comedy, despite a linear ratings decline over its first season.
• Both comedies are fully owned by Fox Entertainment, aligning with the network's strategy to prioritize in-house productions for global sales and multi-platform revenue growth.
• These renewals suggest Fox may limit new half-hour comedy pickups for the 2025-2026 season, focusing instead on its existing slate.
