Actor Denis Leary will be coming back to network TV as the lead role in “A Moody Christmas”, a six-episode comedy about a dynamic family that comes together over the holidays. The limited series, nicknamed “anti-holidays” is based off of the original Australian show with the same name.

“We have always wanted to work with Denis, whose signature gruffness, sarcasm and, dare I say it, heart, make him the perfect fit for this role,” states Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn. “The Moody family nails that indescribable mix of love, loyalty and absolute chaos, and we can’t wait to introduce our viewers to them all this holiday season.”
