‘Amandaland‘ Renewed At BBC
Watch on Deadline
The BBC has given a second season to Sharon Horgan’s Motherland spin-off Amandaland. Performing well with critics and audiences, Amandaland follows the titular character as she relocates with her kids to a new town and school. Produced by Horgan’s Merman, it stars Lucy Punch and new characters played by Joanna Lumley and Derry Girls’ Siobhán McSweeney. The BBC said Amandaland’s 6.4 million viewer average per ep makes it the corporation’s second biggest comedy launch in recent years behind Ludwig. “With any new show you put out there, your main hope is to make something you love and are proud of,” said Horgan, who just struck a deal with HBO. “The extra bonus is that it’s a critical hit. But to have a loyal audience of this size is just beyond your hopes and expectations.”

Joyn Tends To Turkey’s ‘Wounded Birds’
German-language streamer Joyn has acquired Turkish drama series Wounded Birds. According to distributor Eccho Rights, this is the first time a daily Turkish drama has been licensed into Germany, which has a population of more than three million people who have Turkish roots. The show, from Stellar Yapim, tells the story of a strong and beautiful young woman, who has spent five years raising her ‘little brother’ Ömer and keeping him safe from her low-life father. What she doesn’t know is Ömer is the son of a powerful industrialist and was kidnapped in a power struggle for control of the family empire. The 201-episode show was also the first Turkish drama pre-sold to Telemundo in Puerto Rico and OBN in Bosnia and Herzegovina before launching on Turkey’s Kanal D. “The potential for Turkish Drama in Germany has always been there, but typically the huge diaspora has found other means to consume Turkish content,” said Herbert L. Kloiber, Eccho Rights CEO. “We are delighted that Joyn has opened the door to local licensing of Turkish series which have found huge success wherever they have aired elsewhere in Western Europe.”
