Overview

• Fox has officially renewed its live-action comedies 'Animal Control' for a fourth season and 'Going Dutch' for a second season for the 2025-2026 broadcast year.
• 'Animal Control,' starring Joel McHale, continues to thrive with international sales in over 70 territories and strong streaming performance on Hulu, which more than doubles its Live+Same Day ratings.
• 'Going Dutch,' led by Denis Leary, saw a solid debut with strong lead-in retention but experienced linear ratings decline over its 10-episode first season.
• Both series are fully owned by Fox, enabling international distribution through Fox Entertainment Global and bolstering their renewal prospects.
• Fox's decision to renew these comedies aligns with a broader strategy to prioritize owned content, potentially limiting new half-hour comedy pickups for the 2025-2026 season.
