\n\tThe indie gay immigrant comedy One Baby, Please!, created by and starring Karim Adam Ahmed and Adrian Neblett, is set to bow on OUTtv across the U.S. and Canada on Nov. 2, it was announced Monday.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe six-parter centers on Omar, a laid-back Egyptian Canadian, and Dieon, his uptight Barbadian Canadian husband, as they battle with sperm tests, egg donors and their friends to have a \u201cgayby\u201d or a surrogate baby.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe comedy, as it features LGBTQ+ people navigating fertility, surrogacy and parenthood, is the latest queer-themed TV series to come out of Canada after the gay hockey drama Heated Rivalry<\/a>, comedy Pass The Salt and Slo Pitch, a mockumentary about a ragtag LGBTQ+ softball team executive produced by Elliot Page.<\/p>\n \n\tOne Baby, Please! will also stream through OUTtv\u2019s channels in Australia and New Zealand and on Prime Video, Apple TV, YouTube TV and Roku, as well as OUTflix in the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWhen we started this, I didn\u2019t know a single show where a queer Arab man got to be the romantic lead, let alone the guy trying to become a father. For five years, Adrian and I held onto this story because we knew someone out there needed to see it. Now they finally can, and I hope they laugh as hard as they feel seen,\u201d Ahmed explained in a statement.<\/p>\n \n\tThe creative team behind the comedy includes executive producer Anthony Q. Farrell (The Office), and story editor Teresa Pavlinek, a writer and consulting producer on Schitt\u2019s Creek.<\/p>\n \n\tSeries producer Kate Green added in her own statement: \u201cOne Baby, Please! is about two guys who just want to have a baby \u2014 and discover that absolutely everyone has an opinion about how they should do it. It\u2019s a comedy about the chaos of making a family, but underneath all the ridiculousness is a very universal story about love, identity, culture and belonging.\u201d<\/p>\n
