The iconic BBC sitcom Mrs Brown's Boys is set to make a triumphant return this festive season with two brand-new Christmas specials. Fans of the raucous comedy can look forward to more uproarious antics from Agnes Brown and her delightfully dysfunctional family.
Created and written by Brendan O'Carroll, who also stars as the titular matriarch, the show has become a staple of British comedy since its debut in 2011. The upcoming specials will mark the first new episodes since the 2022 festive season, much to the delight of its loyal fanbase.
What to Expect from the New Specials
The BBC has confirmed that filming for the new episodes will begin shortly in Glasgow, where the show has been traditionally produced. While plot details remain under wraps, viewers can expect the same blend of cheeky humour, fourth-wall-breaking moments, and heartwarming family chaos that made the series a hit.
O'Carroll recently teased: "We've got some brilliant surprises in store for the fans. Agnes hasn't changed a bit - she's still causing mayhem wherever she goes."
A Comedy Phenomenon
Despite mixed reviews from critics, Mrs Brown's Boys has consistently drawn massive audiences, with Christmas specials regularly attracting over 6 million viewers. The show's unique blend of traditional sitcom format and pantomime-style humour has struck a chord with British audiences.
The series has spawned numerous stage shows, a feature film, and even a musical adaptation, cementing its place in British comedy history. The new specials are expected to air on BBC One during the 2024 festive period.
