BAFTA award-winning comedy Amandaland has been renewed for a third series, the BBC has announced.
The show, which stars Lucy Punch, Joanna Lumley and Philippa Dunne, was awarded the BAFTA for Best Scripted Comedy at Sunday's ceremony, and will return for a new six-part run.
Director of BBC Comedy, Jon Petrie, made the announcement at the BBC Comedy Festival in Liverpool on Wednesday, where he revealed that Black Ops will also return for a third series.
The comedy stars Gbemisola Ikumelo and Saturday Night Live UK's Hammed Animashaun as two undercover cops and has also enjoyed a string of awards, including a BAFTA for Ikumelo for Best Female Comedy Performance.
As well as returning series, Petrie announced new shows including Hopley Hall, which will follow the staff and volunteers at a country house in Northern Ireland and stars Derry Girls' Jamie-Lee O'Donnell.
Meanwhile, Opening Up is set and filmed in and around Manchester and will feature Amy Gledhill in the lead role.
A new documentary, Twenty Years of Not Going Out, will celebrate two decades of Not Going Out, the hit sitcom created by and starring Lee Mack.
