Exciting news for fans of the hit BBC sitcom Motherland as a spin-off series, Amandaland, is in the works. Unfortunately, for those who were hoping to see Anna Maxwell Martin reprise her role as slightly chaotic mom Julia, there's some disappointing news. The talented actor has confirmed that she will not be making a cameo appearance in the new series.
Motherland, which ran for three seasons and won a Bafta for best scripted comedy in 2022, focused on the challenges of middle-class motherhood. The show's popularity led to the creation of Amandaland, which will follow the adventures of snooty Amanda as she adjusts to a new social scene after downsizing post-divorce.
Many fans were hoping to see some familiar faces from the original series, but it seems like most of the cast will not be returning for the spin-off. During an appearance on The One Show, Anna gave a hard no when asked if Julia, Kevin, or Liz would be making an appearance. It's a sad moment for fans, but Anna did express her excitement at seeing her former co-stars again.
While Anna may not be appearing in Amandaland, she did confirm that Lucy Punch, who played Amanda in Motherland, will be returning for the spin-off. Dame Joanna Lumley will also reprise her role as Amanda's critical mother, and Phillippa Dunne will be back as her friend Anne.
The new series will explore the challenges of raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors, and maintaining friendships in a brand new social scene. Amanda's relationship with her mother will take center stage, with back-handed compliments and veiled snipes being the norm. And of course, Anne will once again find herself as Amanda's minion as they navigate this new chapter in their lives.
There's currently no release date for Amandaland, but fans can expect more drama, laughs, and relatable moments from the world of Motherland. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, make sure to get in touch with the entertainment team at The Agency. They would love to hear from you!
