Release date
The second season of 'Breeders' will premiere on March 22, 2021, on FX for US viewers, and later in the year in May for Sky One viewers in the UK.
Plot
Last season, we saw Paul and Ally struggling with the challenges of raising two young children. 'Breeders' Season 2, however, sees the show moving a few years ahead. The kids are now older and the parenting challenges are now different. It sees Paul and Ally struggle with myriad issues from broken curfews, religious choices to veganism. We also see that Paul is disappointed that the family now just retreats to different rooms with different screens while he tries to figure out ways to bring them all closer.
Cast
Martin Freeman
It doesn't take Sherlock to piece together where we know Martin Freeman from. The actor's played some truly iconic roles over the years, including his role as Dr John Watson in 'Sherlock', for which Freeman won the 2011 BAFTA award for Best Supporting Actor and the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie. Freeman's other notable role is that of Bilbo Baggins, the main character, in the three-part Peter Jackson film series 'The Hobbit'. In April 2014, he played insurance salesman Lester Nygaard in the dark comedy-crime drama series 'Fargo'. Freeman was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Critics' Choice Television Award for his performance.
The role that seems to be closest to Freeman's heart, as well as many other fans, is his role as Tim Canterbury in the mockumentary series 'The Office' which ran from 2001 to 2003. Since March 2020, Freeman has starred in' Breeders'. He is also the creator and executive producer of the series.
Daisy Haggard
Daisy Haggard is a British actress and writer whose international audiences will probably know best from her role on the Matt LeBlanc-starrer 'Episodes'. Haggard, who made her TV debut with 'The Ruth Rendell Mysteries', is also known for her roles on BBC shows such as 'Uncle' and the acclaimed dramedy 'Back to Life', which she also created and co-wrote with Laura Solon. However, since 2020, she has starred as Ally in 'Breeders'.
Creators
'Breeders' was co-created by series star, Martin Freeman, alongside Chris Addison and Simon Blackwell. Simon Blackwell has also served as a writer on several episodes as well as showrunner and executive producer. Other executive producers on 'Breeders' other than Martin Freeman and Chris Addison include Richard Allen-Turner, Rob Aslett, David Martin, Jon Thoday, Toby Welch, and Michael Wiggs. Ben Palmer serves as co-executive producer.
