Joseph Wilde - Produce

When a couple discover that they can't have a healthy baby naturally, Zenith Genomics seems to offer the solution: they can create a perfect, bespoke child, with every gene hand-picked. For a price.

But the parents soon find that perfection brings its own problems...

Joseph Wilde's unsettling drama, set in the near future, is a dark fable about parental expectation - and the pressures of parenting in a competitive and commodified world.
