While Motherland has not yet been officially renewed, if a fourth series does get the green light, it\u2019s possible it won\u2019t arrive on our screens for some time.<\/p>\n
Between each of the three existing series there\u2019s been a two-year wait, with season 1 premiering in 2017, season 2 landing in 2019 and season 3 making its BBC Two debut in 2021.<\/p>\n
If this release pattern is anything to go by, RadioTimes.com <\/strong>predicts Motherland season 4 won\u2019t premiere until at least 2023<\/strong> \u2013 however, we do have another Christmas special to look forward to at the end of this year.<\/p>\n
What could happen in the plot of Motherland season 4?<\/strong><\/h2>\n $\"""\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>

**Spoilers ahead for Motherland season 3**<\/strong><\/p>\n
Motherland season 3 truly was a five-part rollercoaster, with Meg being diagnosed with, and eventually beating, cancer, Kevin\u2019s wife asking him for a divorce, Amanda sleeping with Kevin and Julia developing a crush on her new handyman.<\/p>\n
At the end of episode 4, all fans could think about was the surprising new romance between Amanda (Lucy Punch) and Kevin (Paul Ready), and, while they brushed the encounter off as a casual one-off, hopefully season 4 would dive into the fallout of their no-longer-secret dalliance.<\/p>\n
Those rooting for #Kevanda shouldn\u2019t hold out hope however, as Ready recently told\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/strong> that he doesn\u2019t think the pair would make a go of it<\/a> in season 4.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this point, we don\u2019t know if there is more series. If there were more series, I think it would, I don\u2019t think they can become an item because I think there\u2019s the thrill of it happening in this season, but I don\u2019t think it will last,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
A fourth series is also likely to see Julia (Anna Maxwell Martin) try to repair the relationship with her often absent husband Paul (Oliver Chris) after admitting to him that she fancied their new builder Garry (Robbie Gee), while Liz\u2019s (Diane Morgan) long-distance relationship with her shepherd boyfriend Sam (Tom Meeten) will probably continue to progress.<\/p>\n
Who would be in the cast of a potential Motherland season 4?<\/strong><\/h2>\n $\"""\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>

It wouldn\u2019t be Motherland without Anna Maxwell Martin, who stars as chaotic mum Julia, or her best friends Liz (Diane Morgan), Kevin (Paul Ready) and Meg (Tanya Moodie).<\/p>\n
We\u2019d be surprised if Lucy Punch and Phillipa Dunne didn\u2019t reprise their roles as Amanda and Anne respectively, while recurring characters like Julia\u2019s husband Paul (Oliver Chris), school receptionist Mrs Lamb (Jackie Clune), Julia\u2019s mother Marion (Ellie Haddington), Amanda\u2019s ex husband Johnny (Terry Mynott), Liz\u2019s boyfriend Sam (Tom Meeten) and Meg\u2019s husband Bill (Anthony Head) will hopefully return for season 4.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll bring you confirmed details as and when we get them.<\/p>\n
Is there a trailer for Motherland season 4?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
There\u2019s no first look at Motherland\u2019s fourth series yet as it hasn\u2019t even been confirmed. However, we will keep you up to date as soon as we know more.<\/p>\n
