After years of declining ratings and some pretty brutal viewer feedback, Mrs Brown’s Boys has finally broken its silence about its future – and despite the backlash, it’s not going anywhere just yet. The Irish sitcom, fronted by Brendan O’Carroll, took a bit of a hammering after its most recent Christmas Day episode in 2024 pulled in just 2.2 million viewers. That’s a massive drop from the 3.67 million it managed the year before – and nowhere near its glory days back in 2013 when it raked in a whopping 11.4 million.
Recent specials haven’t gone down well with many, with some calling them “painful to watch” and switching off entirely. It’s led to growing calls online for the BBC to finally axe the show altogether. But instead of bowing out, the team behind the show has come back with a clear message: they’re still here – and a new series is in the works, reported the Express.
