BAFTA-winning Amandaland teases third season after critical triumph
The second series of Amandaland has been met with widespread acclaim from critics. Lucy Punch’s portrayal of the delusional yet charismatic Amanda earned high praise, while the show itself took home a BAFTA for Scripted Comedy. Creator Holly Walsh has now hinted at a possible third season. The latest series follows Amanda as she stumbles into a new career as an online influencer. Her lack of self-awareness and overconfidence have drawn comparisons to iconic comedy characters like David Brent and Alan Partridge. Despite her flaws, the character’s antics continue to resonate with audiences.
Lucy Punch’s performance remained a standout, with reviewers also praising Joanna Lumley as Amanda’s mother, Felicity, and Philippa Dunne as Anne. The show’s sharp writing and bold humour secured its BAFTA win, further cementing its place in British comedy.
Behind the scenes, speculation has grown about a potential guest appearance by Melania Trump—though no confirmation has been made. Meanwhile, Holly Walsh’s tease of a third series has left fans eager for more of Amanda’s chaotic world. With a BAFTA win and glowing reviews, Amandaland has solidified its reputation as a must-watch comedy. If a third series goes ahead, it will likely explore Amanda’s ever-expanding delusions and the fallout from her influencer ambitions. For now, fans can only wait for official updates.
