Joining Lucy Punch (How to Build a Girl), who stars as the eponymous Amanda, will be Samuel Anderson (Gavin & Stacey) as Mal and Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls) as Della. Peter Serafinowicz (The Gentlemen) will appear as Johannes, Ekow Quartey (Becoming Elizabeth) as JJ and Rochenda Sandall (Line of Duty) as Fi.
Joanna Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous) will also appear as Amanda’s overbearing mother Felicity, and Philippa Dunne (Derry Girls) as Anne, as previously announced.
Motherland asks the question "can we have it all?" and the answer appears to be no. Modern motherhood is examined and the middle-class mothers at the centre of the BBC comedy never get a moment of peace, whether they're faced with nit outbreaks, charity fundraisers or catchment areas.
