Opposite Denis Leary

Catherine Tate has joined the cast of the forthcoming American comedy series Going Dutch.

The series will star comic Denis Leary as a loudmouth US Army Colone, exiled to the ‘least important army base in the world’, in the Netherlands after an inappropriate outburst.

Tate – who previously appeared in the US version of The Office – plays  a character called Katja Vanderhoff,

According to Deadline, she is ‘a smart, attractive Dutch woman with a PhD in intersectional feminism,’ who is both head of the city’s Chamber of Commerce and the local brothel owner.

Also joining the cast are veteran actor Joe Morton as he Colonel’s nemesis General Davidson,  and Taylor Misiak who plays Captain Maggie Quinn, the base’s previous interim leader and the Colonel's estranged daughter. 

The comedy has been written by Joel Church-Cooper – creator of the sitcom Brockmire, which starred Hank Azaria as a baseball commentator – and will air  on Fox in the US.

There is no news on whether a UK broadcaster will carry the series.
