Would you watch a spin-off series centred on Anne from Motherland?

Anne from Motherland and Amandaland is the standout character for me from both programmes, her comic timing and when she becomes more assertive is so funny. I wonder what it would be like if the character had her own show....?

I dont think i would you know

Shes funny but her life isnt that interesting

I’d watch a spin off of Liz and Kevin from Motherland, I’m not sure about Anne though.

I like the way they've played on Anne being a more successful influencer than Amanda this series and they've alluded before to her having a high powered job, just feel like there's more mileage in that particularly as her and Amanda get older. But I would also watch anything with the original Motherland cast in, really loved the dynamic between the cast and it was spikier, funnier writing.

Was t it Chief Financial Officer for an International Pharmaceutical or something

Cheesecake53 · 10/05/2026 22:25

I would.

Morepositivemum · 10/05/2026 22:26

I agree that Liz or Kevin might be better but I do love Ann so I would watch

Cocachanel · 11/05/2026 16:11

I so would!

Head of Product Development for Smithkline Beecham.... Amanda thought she worked in Boots!

ErlingHaalandsManBun · 11/05/2026 16:17

Didn't Amanda think Anne worked in Greggs?

I would watch an Anne spin off as I love her character.

But I would love to see what Liz and Kevin are both up to now. Not so much Julia as I found her actually to be selfish and self centered and quite unlikeable.

JennyForeigner · 11/05/2026 16:21

I would watch some 10 minutes skits on her garden influencing or something for comic relief for sure.

NoCommentingFromNowOn · 11/05/2026 16:27

Anne needs Amanda to bounce off.

Without Amanda, I think Anne is very capable.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 11/05/2026 22:12

I think Anne needs Amanda or someone to vibe with. Not enough by herself.

For me the beauty of Julia’s character was the very fact that she was unlikeable.

See I liked and disliked Julia in equal measure. Yes she was a using pita but she seemed fun to be around and did try to show up for her kids. Her husband was the real useless one in their marriage.

Amanda thought she worked at Greggs.

I’m not sure I would watch it but I do think Anne has some hilarious aspects. Like the massive family all with the same name.

One of the funniest scenes is in Motherland when Anne has one of those 3D pin toy things that you mould your face in and it turns out she’s got her late dad’s face in it. Julia starts playing with it without realising and they then frantically try to re create the dad’s face before Anne gets back. It’s SO funny. And Anne’s not even in that scene until the end.

happilypickled · 13/05/2026 01:44

Not sure about Anne - she’s got some great lines - but I’d love to see Liz or Meg!

Blahblahblahabla · 13/05/2026 01:58

Liz 100%

Really I want the whole crew back again!

lavenderscenteddrawerliners · 13/05/2026 01:58

Oh god no. Anne is amusing in very small bursts but she could not manage a series. Amanda or Julia would have to be the main characters.

If you like Liz watch Mandy. It’s different though.

Thank you! I will do!

Currently watching hoe to get to heaven from Belfast and it’s so funny!

To me Liz was the star of Motherland and Anne is the star of Amandaland.
