Fans of the BBC show Motherland were saddened to hear that the series would not be returning for another season. However, lead actor Paul Ready, who played Kevin Brady on the show, has landed a new movie role in a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet called All That Glitters. Despite the disappointment of the show’s cancellation, Ready is excited about this new opportunity. Motherland, which explored the lives of a group of middle-class mums in suburban London, has been a hit with audiences since its premiere in 2016. However, it was recently confirmed that there would not be any more episodes of the show, leaving fans disappointed.
The show, which starred Anna Maxwell Martin, Lucy Punch, Phillipa Dunne, and Tanya Moodie, follows the struggles of working mother Julia as she navigates the challenges of parenting with the help of her local mom friends. While fans are disappointed by the news of the show’s cancellation, Ready’s new role in All That Glitters offers a silver lining for viewers. The new film, written and directed by Peter Lavery, is set in a school filled with anxious teens and TikTok, and promises to bring a mix of humor, heartache, and humanity to the screen. Ready expressed his excitement about working on the film and bringing its characters to life.
In a recent interview, Diane Morgan, who played Liz, a single mom on Motherland, confirmed that the show would not be returning for another season. She shared her disappointment at the news, noting that fans of the show often approached her in the street asking about its return. However, Morgan hinted at the possibility of a spin-off show centered around Amanda, one of the characters from Motherland. While the future of the show remains uncertain, fans can potentially look forward to new stories featuring their favorite characters.
The BBC is yet to release an official statement regarding the cancellation of Motherland, but reports suggest that the network may be considering a new show that focuses on one of the characters from the original series. Additionally, an American remake of Motherland was in the works but was ultimately scrapped last year. The proposed US series, titled Keeping It Together and led by Ellie Kemper, did not move forward. Despite these setbacks, fans can still enjoy Paul Ready’s upcoming role in All That Glitters and potentially look forward to more stories from the world of Motherland in the future.
As fans continue to come to terms with the end of Motherland, Ready’s new movie role provides a glimmer of hope for those who grew to love the show’s characters and storylines. The show’s unique portrayal of motherhood and the challenges faced by modern parents resonated with audiences, and its cancellation has left many disappointed. However, with a potential spin-off in the works and the promise of new projects on the horizon, fans can find solace in the knowledge that the world of Motherland may live on in some form. Despite the end of the show, its impact on viewers and the legacy it leaves behind will be remembered for years to come.
