It's been a little over a year since Amandaland burst onto screens, providing audiences with the belly laughs they'd been missing since Motherland concluded in 2022.
The spin-off series follows Amanda (Lucy Punch) as she is forced to downsize after her divorce, all while juggling raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors and navigating a tense relationship with her mother Felicity (Joanna Lumley).
Alongside her is Anne (Philippa Dunne) and new characters including Amanda's downstairs neighbour Mal (Samuel Anderson), couple Della and Fi (Siobhán McSweeney and Rochenda Sandall).
Across the six episodes, Amanda and Anne found themselves in plenty of awkward predicaments, from Amanda getting back into the dating pool to Anne being slightly too involved in her son's love life.
And fans will be pleased to know that Amanda and Anne will be back to their usual shenanigans in the upcoming second season and while Dunne remained tight-lipped on those exact plot points, she did tell Radio Times: "Amanda drags Anna out of the house a couple of times to do various things. there'll be more of that I think."
Just hours before Dunne attended the Royal Television Society awards, it was revealed that she - along with co-star Lucy Punch - had been nominated for a BAFTA for actress in a comedy.
"I'm so thrilled and pumped and excited and I'm honoured," Dunne said of her reaction to being nominated, adding: "Shocked, but happy."
Amandaland has been a worthy successor to Motherland, with Dunne telling Radio Times that the reaction from fans has been "better than we could have ever thought".
She continued: "Obviously there's a big responsibility in doing a spin-off for the fans of Motherland. We didn't want to make a mess of it or ruin the reputation of the show. But we're just really delighted, blown away [and] so happy that people not only like it, but love it.
"I'm really glad that the hard work has paid off and that people like it and have received it really well."
