FX has just released a new teaser for the upcoming third season of their dark comedy series,Breeders.Breederstells the story of modern family life and the sides of parenting not many people want to face. The show is created byMartin Freeman, Chris Addison, andSimon Blackwell. Season 3 of the series will see Martin Freeman,Daisy Haggard, Alex Eastwood,andEve Prenellereturning as the central cast. Season 2 ofBreedersleft off on a bit of a shocking note, with teenager Luke punching his dad Paul (Freeman) in the face and the family on the cusp of falling apart.
The new teaser, which has been dubbed “Office,” opens with Paul telling his boss that he has to leave work early. His boss asks him if this is because he’s under the weather, causing Paul to start oversharing. He talks about his back problems before the audience is shown the man laying on the ground in pain while his family stares at him from the couch. He then says he has to spend time with his kids, but a cutaway to his daughter proves otherwise. Paul finally tells his boss his son needs him, but another cutaway that shows him screaming into a pillow in his son’s room proves it’s actually the opposite. The teaser ends with Paul turning to his wife and exclaiming that everything is fine, but it’s obvious that that isn’t really the case.
Breedersis a joint production between Sky One and FX. The show’s first season premiered back in May 2020 and was the first show on FX to drop episodes on Hulu the day after its cable premiere, which is common practice now.Breedersco-creator and star Freeman is known for portraying Bilbo inThe Hobbittrilogy and Everett K.

Paul’s moved out and is staying at his mother-in-law Leah’s (Stella Gonet) house. He should be lonely but actually the simpler life has its appeal. Eventually, though, amends with Luke must be made. Meanwhile Ally (Daisy Haggard) has her own problems - with work, with her early menopause and with her increasingly strained relationship with her newly adolescent daughter, Ava (Eve Prenelle). Gallows humor and large glasses of wine only go so far in quelling the angst…”
