Babes (15) (AD)

Two women wearing pink smile at each other, one has her stomach showing to reveal a large baby bump.

A carefree woman gets pregnant from a one night stand in this Bridesmaids-esque comedy starring Ilana Glazer.

A hilarious comedy about female friendships, family, and the scary yet incredible ride of pregnancy and motherhood. 

Childhood best friends Eden (Ilana Glazer) and Dawn (Michelle Buteau) grew up together, but now firmly find themselves in different phases of adulthood. Dawn is a mother, in a stable marriage, and Eden is still living her best carefree single life. 

When Eden fall pregnant, their relationship is tested more than it ever has been before. Babes delves head-first into the complexities of female friendship with a blend of laughter, tears, and labour pains.

From co-writers Ilana Glazer and Josh Rabinowitz (having previously worked together on Broad City) and directed by Pamela Adlon.
