Manners McDade’s Oli Julian Scores New Sky Series 'Breeders'

Manners McDade composer Oli Julian has scored the new Sky series 'Breeders'.

Starring Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard, ‘Breeders’ is a Sky One sitcom exploring the complex feelings of modern day parenting through the lives of Paul and Ally - as they juggle full-time careers, ageing parents, a mortgage and their younger children. The series is created by Peep Show writer Simon Blackwell, comedian Chris Addison and Martin Freeman.

Freeman states that: “I think this show reflects what we all feel about what parenting is; some of it is hilarious, some of it is terrifying, and some of it is grief-making. That’s often within the same hour.”

Oli Julian is known for his score to 'Motherland' (BBC), 'Catastrophe' (C4), 'Josh' (BBC3), 'Cockroaches' (ITV2), and season four of 'Episodes'. Oli recently completed a new BBC pilot starring Martin Freeman, 'Breeders', series five of both 'Plebs' and 'Cuckoo' (with Nick Foster) and series two of Sky One’s comedy drama 'Living the Dream'. He has also scored Netflix’s popular coming-of-age comedy-drama Sex Education (starring Asa Butterfield, Gillian Anderson, Ncuti Gatwa, Emma Mackey, Connor Swindells and Kedar Williams-Stirling).

Most recently, Oli finished scoring his first feature film 'How To Build A Girl', an adaptation of Caitlin Moran’s book due for theatrical release this year.

The US release of ‘Breeders’ will be airing on FX tonight, with the UK release on 12th March, 9pm, Sky One.
