“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,” said Michael Thorn, President, Entertainment, Fox Entertainment. “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.”
Fox is envisioning this as an ongoing event series franchise with multiple installments featuring the same core cast. “It begins at Christmas but isn’t just limited to Christmas,” Thorn told Deadline earlier this year. “We will meet this family, the Moodys, at very important events throughout their lifecycle that a family experiences together.” Those could include a family wedding, a family vacation, a funeral, and a graduation.with Eric Tannenbaum and Kim Tannenbaum of The Tannenbaum Co.
