What's Happening?
Fox has announced that Hilary Winston will join the comedy series 'Going Dutch' as a co-showrunner for its second season. Winston will work alongside Joel Church-Cooper, the series' creator and original showrunner. The show stars Denis Leary as U.S. Army Colonel Patrick Quinn, who is reassigned to a non-strategic base in the Netherlands after an unfiltered rant. The series, which features a diverse cast including Taylor Misiak, Danny Pudi, and Laci Mosley, is set to return midseason. The first season experienced a decline in viewership, prompting Fox to aim for growth in the upcoming season.
Why It's Important?
The addition of Hilary Winston, a seasoned comedy writer-producer, could bring fresh perspectives and potentially boost the show's appeal. Winston's previous work on successful series like 'Community' and 'Happy Endings' suggests she could help 'Going Dutch' capture a larger audience. This move reflects Fox's strategy to strengthen its comedy lineup and improve ratings. The show's unique setting and character dynamics offer potential for engaging storytelling, which could attract viewers seeking diverse and humorous content.
What's Next?
Production for the second season has already begun, with the series expected to return in midseason. Fox will likely focus on marketing strategies to re-engage viewers and attract new audiences. The network's efforts to enhance the show's appeal could involve promotional campaigns highlighting the new co-showrunner and the series' comedic elements. The success of the second season will depend on its ability to resonate with audiences and maintain consistent viewership.
