Parenting is no less than a paradox. As much as parents love their children with all their heart and soul and would die or even kill for them, there are times when you want to kill them, not necessarily literally! ‘Breeders’ is one such show that takes you through what it takes to endure the experience of ‘parenting’ and how it can be a dark but hilarious ride among all the little adventures.

Release Date

The comedy family drama series will release on FX on Monday, March 2, 2020 at 10 pm ET and will consist of 10 episodes, with one episode per week.

Plot

According to the official synopsis, ‘Breeders’ follows the story of parents, played by Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard, who realize that no matter how much they love their kids, sometimes they want to send them off to another end of the universe. Through their fun and quirky adventures with children, the parents also evolve and we can’t wait to see how they all come together on this journey of discovery of themselves as parents and their children.
