The dark family comedy series, Breeders, starring Martin Freeman (The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey) and Daisy Haggard (Back To Life) will be entering it’s last season in the upcoming fourth season. According to TVLine, the final season of the series will come to screens July 31st on FX at 10/9c with the first two episodes out of ten.
Since the last season, it has been a whopping five years since hearing from the Worsley family. To quickly recap, Paul (Martin Freeman) and Jackie’s (Daisy Haggard) relation was on the cusp of ending. Meanwhile Jackie (Joanna Bacon) and Jim (Alun Armstrong) were facing tension of their own. All the while Luke (Alexander Eastwood) was discovering an arising relationship and Ava (Eve Prenelle) was fixing one from the past.
In an official description of the upcoming season, it says that, “Season Four of Breeders brings the biggest parenting challenge that Paul and Ally have ever faced, as 18-year-old Luke played by Oscar Kennedy (Wreck) drops a bombshell at Christmas dinner that will change everyone’s lives forever. No longer in Luke’s shadow, 16-year-old Ava played by Eve Prenelle (To Olivia) experiences her own bombshell moment as she meets and immediately falls for the charismatic Holly played by Jessie Williams (Grey’s Anatomy). Paul and Ally continue to try, fail and try again as they face these latest parenting challenges, while also having to support the increasingly troubled Jim and Jackie.”
The show is also described by FX’s President of Original Programming Nick Grad that, “Breeders has given us the special opportunity to watch the Worsley family grow with each season and FX is thrilled to order a fourth season that will bring the next chapter of this hilarious yet brutally honest take on being a parent in today’s world. Our thanks to creators Simon Blackwell, Chris Addison and Martin Freeman, the entire creative team, Daisy and the cast, the crew and everyone at Avalon, FX Productions and Sky. Their efforts are what guide and sustain Breeders and we are happy to be part of that extended family.”
Be sure to look forward to the upcoming fourth season coming to grace the screens every Monday.
