The hit BBC comedy Amandaland, a spin-off of Motherland, returns for its second season tonight (Wednesday, May 6) at 9pm on BBC One. All six episodes are available to stream now on BBC iPlayer.
Lucy Punch reprises her role as divorcee Amanda, who is still living in SoHa (South Harlesden) and raising her teenagers, Georgie and Manus. She also works on her online Senuous brand and her 'co-lab' at Kitchen's Bathrooms and Kitchens. The new series sees Amanda thrilled by the opening of a hipster coffee shop, but her attention soon turns to a big house for sale in the area.
The cast includes Joanna Lumley as Felicity, Philippa Dunne as Anne, Samuel Anderson as Mal, and Ekow Quartey as JJ. New faces include Harriet Webb as Abs, Mal's no-nonsense ex, and Pam Ferris as Amanda's frail neighbour. Siobhán McSweeney's character Della is less present due to working on a cruise, but her partner Fi (Rochenda Sandall) remains prominent.
Season two consists of six 30-minute episodes, airing weekly on Wednesdays at 9pm on BBC One. The series has already received praise from viewers and critics, with the Financial Times calling it a 'defiantly daft comedy' and Radio Times hailing it a 'comedy triumph'.
