A MOODY CHRISTMAS: Denis Leary Joins Fox Limited Series

Denis Leary has joined the cast of Fox’s A MOODY CHRISTMAS.

Leary will play Sean Sr., per the network, “the beloved patriarch of the Moodys, a tight-knit, but slightly dysfunctional, family of five, all of whom return home to Chicago for the holidays, hiding secrets from each other – as if the holidays weren’t stressful enough!”

“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,” noted Michael Thorn, President, Entertainment, FOX Entertainment, in a statement. “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.”

The six-episode limited series is an adaptation of the Australian series by the same name. A MOODY CHRISTMAS will air this December.
