Breeders exposes 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 stars as a caring father discovering he’s not quite the man he thought he was.
Starring Emmy and BAFTA®-winning Martin Freeman (The Responder, Fargo, The Hobbit, Black Panther) and Daisy Haggard (Boat Story, Episodes, Black Mirror), Breeders 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. Airing on FX in the US and Sky in the UK, the show is created by Emmy Award winning duo Simon Blackwell (Veep) and Chris Addison (Veep).
