Apprentis parents is a comedy-drama directed by Sean Anders, inspired in part by his own personal experience. The film tells the story of Pete and Ellie, a couple who decide to adopt three children at once, without really measuring the consequences of such a commitment. Played by Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne, the characters will have to cope with the challenges of sudden parenthood, particularly in the face of Lizzy, a 15-year-old teenager played by Isabela Merced.
Apprentis parents will be available on Netflix from May 5, 2025.

Apprentis parents could appeal to viewers who like family comedies with a touch of realism, in the spirit of Les Miller, une famille en herbe (We're the Millers) or Ma vie pour la tienne (My Sister's Keeper). The film tackles the challenges of adoption and family recomposition with tenderness and humor.
Apprentis parents sensitively explores the upheavals caused by adoption within a childless couple. Through situations that are both funny and moving, the film paints a sincere and warm portrait of unconventional parenthood.
