Breeders Sets FX Return for Fourth and Final Season — Get Premiere Date
The saga of Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard’s Breeders is officially coming to an end: The familial dark comedy’s fourth and final season will premiere on FX Monday, July 31 at 10/9c with its first two of 10 episodes.
Five years have passed since we last saw the Worsley family. In Season 3, Paul (Freeman) and Ally (Haggard) were on the verge of splitting up, Jim (Alun Armstrong) and Jackie (Joanna Bacon) were in turmoil, and Luke found a new relationship, while Ava mended an old one. Reads the official description: “Season 4 of Breeders brings the biggest parenting challenge that Paul and Ally have ever faced, as 18-year-old Luke (Oscar Kennedy) drops a bombshell at Christmas dinner that will change everyone’s lives forever. No longer in Luke’s shadow, 16-year-old Ava (Zoë Athena) experiences her own bombshell moment as she meets and immediately falls for the charismatic Holly (Jessie Williams). 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.”

Their efforts are what guide and sustain Breeders and we are happy to be part of that extended family.”
