FANS of the BBC hit comedy Motherland have a brand new sitcom to enjoy with spin-off Amandaland.
The new show comes as Motherland creator Holly Walsh previously shared the show would not be returning.
Instead, a spin-off centred around Amanda would be created with Lucy Punch and Joanna Lumley returning.
Amandaland fellows Amanda in the wake of her divorce, with her children, now teenagers, recently changing schools and downsizing to South Harlesden.
Elsewhere, Amanda's mum is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely.
Plus, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda’s minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children’s new school.
Along with some returning characters, Amandaland will welcome new stars including Siobhan McSweeney, Samuel Anderson and Rochenda Sandall.
Siobhan McSweeney is best known for starring in Channel 4 comedy Derry Girls as Sister Michael, the Disney + series Extraordinary and Holding.
Samuel Anderson has previously starred in The History Boys, Trollied, The Lady in the Van, Death in Paradise and more.
Rochenda Sandall has appeared in Criminal: UK, The Rig, Line of Duty, Broken, Hijack and Small Axe.
