Freeman created Breeders alongside Simon Blackwell and Chris Addison. Blackwell be serving as showrunner and executive producer alongside Freeman, Addison, Richard Allen-Turner, Rob Aslett, David Martin, Jon Thoday and Michael Wiggs.

"I'm delighted to be making Breeders with a team that can make me laugh whilst we look at some of the less-discussed truths and challenges of being a parent," Freeman said in a statement. "I really love this project and am delighted to be working with FX and Sky."

Freeman, known for his roles on BBC's Sherlock and in films The Hobbit and Black Panther, previously starred on FX's Fargo.

The actor has also signed on to star in an upcoming six-part drama for ITV titled A Confession. Freeman will portray real-life Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher as he bypasses police procedure in order to solve a missing persons case, a move that costs him his job.
