FX has announced that it has given a ten-episode series order to Breeders, a parental comedy series which will star Martin Freeman (Sherlock, Black Panther) and Daisy Haggard (Episodes, I Give It a Year).
Breeders has been created by Freeman, Simon Blackwell (The Thick of It, Veep) and Chris Addison (The Thick of It, In the Loop) and will see Freeman portraying a caring father who discovers that he’s not quite the man he thought he was.
The series is described as “exposing the parental-paradox that it is possible, in the very same moment, to love your child to the horizon of the universe, while being apoplectically angry enough to want to send them there.”
“Martin Freeman is an incredibly versatile artist who is perfectly paired with the wonderfully talented Daisy Haggard in Breeders,” said Nick Grad, co-president of original programming at FX Networks and FX Productions. “We enjoyed working with Martin on the first installment of Fargo and are delighted that he is executive producing along with Simon Blackwell and Chris Addison. We also appreciate the chance to partner with Avalon Television and Sky Original Productions to bring this new comedy series to audiences worldwide.”
Breeders is expected to air in 2020.
