According to the official synopsis, the series will pick up post her divorce, where Amanda (Punch) has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the estate agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).

With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try to get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco-anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone. Then there’s Amanda’s mother Felicity (portrayed, once again, by Joanna Lumley), who is constantly around and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.

And, after a brief spell of freedom in the original series, Anne (Philippa Dunne) is sucked back into being Amanda’s minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children’s new school.
