The Surrogacy, Netflix’s newest drama series, has dropped this Wednesday. Here’s a guide to the show’s cast and characters.

It’s been a huge week for Netflix, as they’ve released three of the biggest projects of the summer so far: Extraction 2, Black Mirror Season 6, and The Surrogacy.

The show follows a woman who rents out her womb to a wealthy family but, when she gives birth to fraternal twins and the boy has a disability, she is left with that boy baby while the family takes the other twin. Years later, she has to confront the family and the truth comes out.

The Surrogacy released on Wednesday, June 14 but, before you binge the series, here’s a guide to its cast and characters.

After her delivery, she wakes up in a hospital, where she is given a baby who was born with a physical disability. Years later, her life will confront her again with that moment, to discover the truth.”
