BBC Renews 'Amandaland' for Six-Episode Season 3

The greenlight signals a BBC drive to turn awards momentum into long‑running comedy hits.

Overview

  • The BBC confirmed the third series on Wednesday at the Comedy Festival in Liverpool, with Comedy Director Jon Petrie making the announcement.
  • The order follows the show's BAFTA Television Award for best scripted comedy won on Sunday.
  • Six new episodes are planned, with Lucy Punch, Joanna Lumley and Philippa Dunne set to return under creators Holly Walsh and Laurence Rickard.
  • The renewal sits within a wider slate revealed by Petrie that includes new seasons of Black Ops and Am I Being Unreasonable? plus new comedies Hopley Hall and Opening Up.
  • No return date was given, though the BBC cited strong viewing including multi‑million averages and a 7.4 million 2025 Christmas special on BBC One and iPlayer.
