Sky\u2019s brilliant, biting comedy-drama Breeders<\/a> is back for a third season \u2013 and series leads Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard have suggested this isn\u2019t the end of the road.<\/p>\n

Freeman and Haggard play Paul and Ally, who are faced with the harsh realities of parenthood as they raise their children Luke and Ava.<\/p>\n

The second season \u2013 aired last year \u2013 featured a significant time jump, with Alex Eastwood and Eve Prenelle taking on the roles of older versions of Paul and Ally\u2019s children. But while the advancing ages of these characters might suggest there\u2019s a limit to how long Breeders can explore the challenges of raising young children, Freeman told RadioTimes.com<\/a> that he thinks there\u2019s still \u201cmore to do\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we can stand a bit more!\u201d he said. \u201cWhile still not becoming, you know, Luke and Ava being 45. Because they are still young \u2013 the characters are 11 and 13, so there\u2019s still loads of growing up to do, actually. So I think that we could do more without it being desperately clinging on\u2026 there\u2019s feasibly more that we could do, I think.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Haggard also suggested that there\u2019s \u201canother chapter\u201d to explore for the family. \u201cThe great thing about this story is it\u2019s a family and people get older and change, so there\u2019s so many different stories to tell. I think there\u2019s definitely another chapter,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The third season of Breeders charts the aftermath of a tense argument between Paul and Luke, which saw the latter punch his father, while also exploring how Ava feels isolated from Ally as the family directs its attention towards Luke, who is living with anxiety.<\/p>\n

Fans of the series will be used to the scenes featuring Paul\u2019s eccentric parents, Jim (Alun Armstrong) and Jackie (Joanna Bacon), providing some light relief. \u201cIt\u2019s a very different atmosphere [during filming], because those scenes, for the most part, serve a different function,\u201d Freeman said. \u201cThey are a bit more, you know, the pressure cooker sort of being released.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
