Great news for fans of the hit comedy Motherland! The BBC has officially announced a spin-off series based on the beloved character Amanda. This news comes as a relief to many viewers who were devastated when the show was cancelled just two months ago. In fact, some were even threatening to cancel their license fee in protest.
But now, fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Motherland makes its return in a slightly different form, with the new series Amandaland. This spin-off will follow Amanda as she navigates life post-divorce and adjusts to living in a less affluent part of London. With her children attending a new school, Amanda finds herself getting sucked into a whole new social scene.
The casting for Amandaland has yet to be announced, but we can expect to see Dame Joanna Lumley reprising her role as Amanda's critical mother Felicity, and Phillippa Dunne returning as her friend Anne. This news has understandably thrilled viewers, especially with the promise of more of Amanda's hilarious misadventures.
The synopsis for Amandaland reveals that Amanda will be facing new challenges as a single mother of teenagers, dealing with issues such as teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts, and eco-anxiety. And of course, she will have her mother Felicity constantly around, in denial of her own loneliness. Thankfully, Amanda will have her loyal friend Anne by her side to help navigate the tricky social dynamics of their children's school.
The idea for a spin-off centered on Amanda was previously hinted at by Diane Morgan, who played Liz in Motherland. After the original show's cancellation, she revealed that Amandaland would be a way for the show to live on through Amanda. And we couldn't be more excited!
Motherland may have been axed after three seasons and two Christmas specials, but it will always be remembered as one of the best comedies of the past decade. Written by Sharon Horgan, it first aired in 2016 and even won a Bafta for best scripted comedy in 2022.
Fans were understandably devastated by the news of its cancellation, with many taking to social media to express their disappointment and even threatening to cancel their license fee. But now, with the announcement of Amandaland, it seems like there is hope for more laughter and hijinks from Amanda and her friends.
So get ready to laugh and cry with Amanda as she faces the challenges of modern motherhood in Amandaland. The show will be airing on BBC and iPlayer, so mark your calendars and get ready for some hilarious and heartwarming moments.
