Season 2 of Sharon Horgan’s comedy Motherland is yet to premiere on BBC Two, but this network surprised the fans of the series in the best way possible – by renewing it for another season!
Motherland shows the trails and tribulations of motherhood in an unfiltered way, by focusing on the day-to-day struggles of several middle-class moms. The ensemble cast of the critically acclaimed sitcom includes Anna Maxwell Martin, Diane Morgan, Lucy Punch, Paul Ready, Philippa Dunne, and Tanya Moodie.
Shane Allen, the controller of comedy commissioning for BBC Two, announced the decision to renew Motherland in an official statement and said they’re ready to keep running this show for as long as the creative team behind it can keep making it.
“The sheer amount of top of their game comedy brains both in front and behind camera in one show is staggering. Series 2 has the sharpest and paciest writing which places our relentlessly inept ensemble into ever-inventive heights of degradation, we want more and we want it as soon as possible,” said Allen.
Season 2 of Motherland is set to return to BBC Two on October 7th.
