Series two of Amandaland finds Amanda (Lucy Punch) still living in SoHa, and juggling teenagers, her online Senuous brand and her “co-lab” working at Kitchen’s Bathrooms and Kitchens. Resigned to staying in the area, she is however thrilled by the opening of a hipster coffee shop which to her mind represents a step towards gentrification.

 

By mid-series, Amanda’s head has been turned by discovering a big house in the area is up for sale. Desperate to own it, she turns to her mother – only to discover that getting Felicity (Joanna Lumley) on board financially comes at a price. Her mum may seem evergreen, but is definitely starting to show signs of ageing so maybe living alone is no longer an option…

 

Fellow divorcee Mal (Samuel Anderson) is still Amanda’s basement neighbour and that tiniest of romantic frissons has not disappeared. This series we also meet his ex, no-nonsense Abs, with whom Amanda struggles to connect.

 

Mal’s unlikely bromance with Abs’s new husband JJ (Ekow Quartey) continues, while Fi (Rochenda Sandall) starts to find her calling as a professional dog walker when Della (Sibhan McSweeney) goes off to work on a cruise.

 

And of course, Anne (Philippa Dunne) remains Amanda’s loyal and long-suffering best friend, as they all navigate the challenges of parenting teenagers - through exams, relationships and, for the season finale, the school prom.
