Amanda from hit BBC comedy series Motherland is the character we love to hate. Her passive-aggressive digs ("Hello Anne! You're looking… healthy") and impossibly polished appearance ("I am a full-time project to myself") make her the perfect villain in a show that looks at parenting without rose-tinted glasses. And now, she's back with even more sass in her own spin-off show, Amandaland.
With the show now available (and everyone talking about it), you may be wondering ‘Where can I watch Amandaland?’ Here's everything you need to know.
Produced one again by Sharon Horgan, we cannot wait for this one to hit screens.
What is Amandaland about?
Amandaland takes the delightfully dreadful Amanda from Motherland and drops her into a post-divorce, downsized reality in "SoHa" (that's South Harlesden). It's another comedic masterclass from writer Sharon Horgan, all about navigating the horrors of teenage rebellion, eco-anxiety, and an ever-present mother.
Think of Amandaland as a survival guide for the modern, aspirational parent who's just discovered that their perfect life has relocated to a slightly less perfect postcode, with a heavy dose of school-gate social warfare thrown in for good measure.
As well as some of our favourite characters from the original Motherland series - including Joanna Lumley as Amanda's mum, Felicity, and Philippa Dunne as the hilariously deadpan Anne - there are a host of new faces to look out for.
New characters include Amanda's neighbour Mal, played by Samuel Anderson (Gavin & Stacey, The History Boys), and acclaimed chef Della, played by Siobhan McSweeney (Derry Girls, The Fall).
Where can I watch Amandaland?
Amandaland is only available to watch in the UK, and viewers will find it on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The comedy series premiered on BBC One on 5 February 2025 and new episodes are broadcast at 9pm every Wednesday.
The good news is all six episodes of the series are available on BBC iPlayer as a boxset, so you can binge the show in one sitting if you just can't get enough.
