Breeders — Season 2

About this season
Time has moved on in Season 2. Luke is now 13 years old and Ava is 10, serving up brand new parenting challenges for Paul and Ally. Luke’s increasing anxiety and Ava’s growing independence add some new and uncharted complications into the existing chaotic mix of stretched resources, lack of time and the fine art of winging it while looking like you know what you’re doing.
