Motherland is getting a spin-off centred around fan favourite, Amanda.

The BBC have confirmed that Amandaland will follow the life of the snooty, middle class mum (played by Lucy Punch) as she faces life after divorce.

Following her split, Amanda is forced to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it ‘SoHa’ – and definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison.

With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety.

Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.

After a brief spell of freedom, Anne (Philippa Dunne) 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. Thank God for Anne. 

Then there’s Amanda’s mother Felicity (Joanna Lumley) who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.

Full casting, production credits and scheduling will be announced in due course.

Amandaland will launch soon on BBC One and iPlayer.
