The BBC has announced the premiere date for the eagerly awaited Motherland spin-off, Amandaland , and fans won't have to wait much longer.
After a chaotic divorce, Amanda is forced to downsize and relocate to South Harlesden. With both her children now in secondary school, Amanda must adapt to managing unruly teenagers single-handedly, reports the Express. The cast of Amandaland also includes Gavin and Stacey's Samuel Anderson, Derry Girls' Siobhan McSweeney, Line of Duty's Rochenda Sandall, Trying's Ekow Quartey and The Gentlemen's Peter Serafinowicz.
"I was genuinely sad having to say goodbye to Motherland. There's such a fondness for that show and those characters. So, it was a real thrill to get to pick up the further adventures of Amanda and Anne, not to mention Felicity," she said.
