Mrs Brown’s Boys will be on the air until at least 2026.

 

The hugely popular BBC sitcom, which stars Irish comedian Brendan O’Carroll in drag as the titular Irish matriarch, returns to our screen this festive season with new episodes on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

 

Mrs Brown’s Boys specials have been aired by the BBC every Christmas since the series’ debut in 2011, with O’Carroll confirming that the show would keep producing Christmas specials until at least 2026.

 

Speaking to The Irish Sun, the writer, who first performed the comedy character in 1992, revealed that he had signed a new BBC contract in December guaranteeing that any specials he made would be broadcast at 10pm on 25 December.

 

“We’ve been doing it for nine years already — which is six more than The Royle Family had and more than Morecambe and Wise,” he said...

 

Perhaps we can confirm now that 2020 really can't get any worse!
