The Surrogates (2021 - 2021)

Caitlin is now pregnant with her boss Kate’s baby, and they try to navigate the complex relationship between a surrogate and an intended parent while working together every day. Caitlin’s boyfriend, Jordan, tries to get used to his girlfriend being pregnant with someone else’s child, and when cracks show in the relationship, Kate worries for the health of the baby. Single man David and his surrogate Lauren end their relationship. He then meets first-time surrogate Faye and her husband Lee. Lee was astounded when he first heard that his wife wanted to be a surrogate, but will David’s determination and charm help ease Lee’s fears? Faye needs to have a check-up to see if she can carry a child, and she takes an awkward and anxious David with her into the examination room. We also meet Maddie, a 29-year-old single mum of two, who connected with married gay couple Alex and Richard at a surrogacy event.

Maddie, Alex, and Rich agree to give themselves six months to try to get pregnant. As the deadline approaches, Maddie feels low, and the trio begin to have doubts about their future together as a surrogacy team. Will Maddie ever get pregnant and realise her dream of being that special person who helps her new friends start a family? Meanwhile, single man David has his embryo transferred into his new surrogate, Faye. We watch as they both navigate the emotional complexities within their relationship, whereby the intended parent has to completely trust the surrogate to safely carry their child and then hand the baby over at the end.
