New Freeform Dramedy Based on Kristin Newman’s Memoir

Freeform has ordered to series the wanderlust dramedy While You Were Breeding, based on the memoir from Kristin Newman (Only Murders in the Building).

While You Were Breeding follows Kacey, single for the first time in her 30s, as she escapes her fast-paced life in Los Angeles to see the world on a globetrotting journey of self-discovery. Chelsea Frei (Dollface) will star.

Additionally, Freeform renewed the breakout comedy Single Drunk Female, starring Sofia Black D’Elia and Ally Sheedy, for a second season. The series follows 20-something alcoholic Samantha Fink, who is forced to move back home with her overbearing mother after a public flame-out at a New York media company.

“I am thrilled to bring Single Drunk Female back for a second season,” stated Freeform President Tara Duncan. “Jenni Konner, Simone Finch and Daisy Gardner created a series that struck a strong chord in such a sincere and authentic way. I cannot wait to see what they have in store for Sam as she continues on her journey to becoming her best self in season two. Our programming strategy is rooted in bringing fun and entertaining stories that reflect the high stakes and endless possibilities of new adulthood. As we continue to build our slate of captivating original series, While You Were Breeding delivers on that promise to our audience.”
