Can time change a family’s complicated trajectory? The FX series “Breeders” returns with a fourth and final season. Viewers last saw the Worsleys in turmoil as Paul and Ally were seemingly at the end of their marriage. Now, the project undertakes an ambitious time jump — moving ahead five years in the story. And the situation has only grown more complicated. Should the married couple separate, as they intend, now or just stay together for the kids… at least a little while longer?

The series’ official fourth season synopsis:
It’s five years since we last saw the Worsley family, caught up in the dramatic events at the end of season three — “Paul” (Martin Freeman) and “Ally” (Daisy Haggard) on the verge of splitting up, “Jim” (Alun Armstrong) and “Jackie” (Joanna Bacon) in turmoil, “Luke” finding a new relationship and “Ava” mending an old one. Season four 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.
Parenthood and relationships introduce new challenges as “Breeders” returns for its final season. The first two episodes premiere on FX on July 31, with subsequent episodes airing each week. All episodes are available to stream the next day on Hulu. Get your first look at the trailer below.
