Breeders

Breeders, a new comedy series on FX starring Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard, explores the paradox that every parent knows but never admits: you would willingly die for your children, but quite often you also want to kill them. Martin Freeman stars as "Paul," a caring father discovering he's not quite the man he thought he was. His partner in this impossibly steep parental climb is "Ally" (Daisy Haggard), who runs a recording studio, makes Paul laugh and has the ability to read a story to their children while she's technically asleep. In this honest and uncompromising comedy, Paul and Ally are juggling full-time careers, aging parents, a mortgage, upheavals in their relationship and the unenviable curveballs of parenting their young children, "Luke" (George Wakeman) and "Ava" (Jayda Eyles). When Ally's estranged father "Michael" (Michael McKean) appears on their doorstep, the family essentially takes on a third child – but this one comes with baggage and opinions. Paul's own parents, "Jackie" (Joanna Bacon) and "Jim" (Alun Armstrong), are on hand to help out, but their generation does parenting a little differently… The 10-episode season is produced by FX Productions, Avalon Television and Sky Original Productions. Academy Award®-nominee and double Emmy® Award-winner Simon Blackwell (Veep, Back, Peep Show) is showrunner. Breeders is created by Blackwell, double Emmy Award and Directors Guild of America Award winner Chris Addison (Veep, The Thick of It, The Hustle) and Emmy and BAFTA®-winning Martin Freeman (Fargo, Sherlock, Black Panther, Captain America: Civil War, The Hobbit), who also stars alongside Daisy Haggard (Back to Life, Episodes, Black Mirror). Executive producers are Blackwell, Addison, Freeman, Richard Allen-Turner, Rob Aslett, David Martin, Jon Thoday and Michael Wiggs. Ben Palmer (Man Up, The Inbetweeners Movie, Back) is co-executive producer and Toby Welch (Catastrophe, The Tunnel, Skins) produces.
