LatestMandy is forced to confront a dramatic change to her whole way of life, and she must look for meaning in places where she’s either been too tired or too bored to look for it before.
Mandy is a woman with dreams. Big dreams. Most of all she dreams of breeding Doberman Pinchers. But there are hurdles to overcome before that dream can become a reality. In the series we'll see her go on a health kick, rent out her small back bedroom on Airbnb and attempt a series of short-lived jobs in the modern gig economy.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mandy emerged from Diane Morgan's 2019 pilot, capturing post-Brexit British malaise where aspiration itself becomes tragicomic. The gig economy satire hits harder as real wages stagnate.
Morgan wrote every episode while shooting After Life with Ricky Gervais, essentially playing two versions of deadpan despair simultaneously. The Doberman obsession was inspired by her actual childhood pet obsession.
