Amandaland is getting its very own Christmas special, and its biggest gift to viewers will be the reunion of two Absolutely Fabulous legends.
BBC One has confirmed that Lucy Punch will return as the love-to-hate central character in the Motherland spin-off. And she’ll be back with the brilliant cast of characters from series 1.
Of course, fans will know that Joanna Lumley plays Amanda’s equally-as-unbearable mother Felicity. And, this time, there’ll be a new family member joining the clan, too…
She’ll be played by none other than Jennifer Saunders. Here’s everything we know so far about the Christmas special of Amandaland.

Is there a Christmas special of Amandaland?
Amandaland will be back later this year for a Christmas special. The news comes as filming begins for the second series of the hit comedy.
Lucy Punch, who plays Amanda, said: “The Christmas special is going to be an absolute cracker. It’s like totes fire, with all the festive feels, for reals. Slay bells!”
Co-writer and creator Holly Walsh and co-writer Laurence Rickard added: “It’s an absolute joy to be back in SoHa (South Harlesden) again. After six months of researching Brent Council’s fly tipping rules, attempting Anne’s Irish accent and writing the odd bit of script, we’re so excited to get filming with our amazing cast.
“We’re thrilled to bits to have a Christmas special and Jennifer Saunders is the perfect addition to the gang.”
