Brendan O’Carroll, the beloved creator and star behind the iconic sitcom Mrs Brown’s Boys, has opened up in a heartfelt interview about the uncertain road ahead for the long-running comedy series and his personal wish to resurrect a fan-favorite spin-off.

For 15 years, Mrs Brown’s Boys has become a staple of British and Irish Christmas television, with Agnes Brown – the foul-mouthed, quick-witted Dublin matriarch played by O’Carroll himself – delivering laughter to millions on BBC One every festive season. The show’s enduring popularity lies in its unapologetic, old-school humor, breaking the fourth wall, and chaotic family antics that resonate with audiences worldwide.

However, as the current contract nears its end in 2026, questions about the program’s longevity have intensified. O’Carroll remains optimistic and pragmatic, stating he will continue starring and writing the Christmas specials for as long as the BBC wants him. “I will keep doing it for as long as they want to,” he explained. “The BBC have indicated they want me to go on after next Christmas, and if I do, I’ll sign a one-year contract at a time.” This flexible approach reflects his dedication while acknowledging the evolving landscape of television, where ratings, viewer habits, and competition from streaming platforms play major roles.

Beyond the main series, O’Carroll expressed strong enthusiasm for reviving All Round To Mrs Brown’s, the Saturday night chat show that ran for several seasons before being shelved during the COVID-19 pandemic and ultimately canceled. The program featured celebrity guests joining Agnes and her family for interviews, games, and unpredictable chaos in the Brown household. O’Carroll highlighted how much creative freedom it offered him compared to the scripted sitcom format.

He described the talk show as a highlight of his career, allowing for spontaneous moments and guest interactions that felt fresh and liberating. “I would love to bring it back,” he said, emphasizing that it provided a different kind of energy and connection with audiences. While no official revival has been confirmed, his plea comes at a time when nostalgic formats and live-audience shows are seeing renewed interest across networks.

Despite occasional criticism and calls to refresh or end the franchise amid changing tastes, O’Carroll remains proud of Mrs Brown’s Boys‘ legacy. The series has toured successfully internationally, with upcoming plans including shows in Australia and South Africa, proving its appeal extends far beyond the screen.

As fans gear up for the next Christmas special, O’Carroll’s comments signal both continuity and hope for new chapters. Whether the BBC opts for another series, a full revival of the chat format, or something entirely fresh, the comedian’s passion ensures Agnes Brown isn’t ready to hang up her cardigan just yet. For now, viewers can savor the familiar warmth – and perhaps dream of Agnes hosting wild celebrity nights once more.
