}}Motherland is a British television sitcom set in London, which examines the trials and traumas of middle-class motherhood.[3]

A pilot episode, written by a team including Graham Linehan and Sharon Horgan, was first broadcast on BBC Two on 6 September 2016 as part of its "Sitcom Season".[3][4] It stars Anna Maxwell Martin as Julia - an stressed working mother, trying to juggle the demands of her children and her job.

The BBC subsequently ordered a full series of six episodes,[1] the first of which aired on 7 November 2017 to favourable reviews.[5][6]

|ShortSummary = Julia is an anxious middle-class mother who lives in suburban London. Despite being an events planner, she finds organising her life difficult. She raises her daughter and son with little help from her estranged husband. She is encouraged by her lazy, irresponsible friend Liz to throw a party for her daughter Ivy's ninth birthday at home in order to gain party invitations for her daughter, giving her free childcare in the future. Julia wants her mother to help organise the party, but she refuses to. Julia asks her estranged husband to help, but he is attending a football match. Julia assumes that the party will be a drop-off, so she is horrified when the mothers stay at her house for the party, making it crowded and meaning that there is insufficient food and drink for the large number of attendees. One of the children's mothers is Amanda, a narcissist who patronisingly insults Julia. Ivy is ill and stays in bed upstairs as the party takes place downstairs. Julia hires the 'Animal Man' as the entertainer; he is disappointing because he arrives late, the only animals he brings are cats - yet he expects a tip.
