After Life spin-off: What the spin-off is about?

June and Lenny are one of the most popular couples in the show. The three of them met in season 1, at June’s, for a news story for the Tambury Gazette. As the show progressed, June and Lenny get a lot closer and entered into a romantic relationship later. At the end of season 3 of After Life, the couple was ready to get married.

Even June’s son, James, has finally moved out of the house. So, now June and Lenny have a lot of time for them. It was June who helped Tony move on with his life. She convinces him to spend the insurance money left by Lisa, Tony’s wife. Tony was always reluctant to touch the money as that would amount to admitting that his wife has truly passed away.
