Amandaland Christmas 

Following two very successful series and a record-breaking Christmas special last year, BBC Comedy has commissioned an Amandaland Christmas special for 2026. 

The award-winning series, starring Lucy Punch, Joanna Lumley and Philippa Dunne, will return to BBC iPlayer and BBC One with a festive dose of So-Ha chaos, alongside Daisy Haggard who joins for the Christmas special as Amanda’s old friend, Millie. 

Lucy Punch returns as Amanda, the self-appointed queen of So-Ha, and after a chance encounter with an old school friend, Amanda ditches her quiet family Christmas Eve plans and instead decides to throw a massive last-minute party to impress her. 

This could be Amanda’s way back into the high-flying circle of her ex-classmates so it has to be perfect - but she soon realises that it’s not easy organising a high-end party in 24 hours; no-one impressive is available at such short notice, so she has to cast her invitation net wider and wider as the hours tick down. 

Also returning for the Christmas special are Samuel Anderson as Mal, Rochenda Samuel as Fi, Ekow Quartey as JJ, Harriet Webb as Abs, Cavan Clerkin as Daniel, Rosie Cavaliero as Claire, Alexander Shaw as Manus, Miley Locke as Georgie, Anya McKenna- Bruce as Morten and Archie Smith as Ned.
