If you love a good laugh with a cheeky Irish family, you’ve probably heard of Mrs Brown's Boys. Created and fronted by Brendan O’Carroll, the show mixes slap‑slap humor with heart‑warming moments, making it a staple on the BBC and streaming platforms.
Each episode follows Agnes Brown, the outspoken matriarch who runs a B&B while dealing with her chaotic kids, grandchildren, and the occasional runaway goat. The cast plays multiple roles – a tradition that adds to the madness and keeps fans guessing who’s behind the next outrageous line.
New episodes air on BBC One every Thursday at 9 pm. If you miss the live broadcast, catch re‑runs on BBC iPlayer within 30 days of the original air date. For overseas fans, the show streams on platforms like Hulu and Amazon Prime, though episode order may differ.

The latest season dropped in March 2025, delivering 12 fresh episodes. Highlights include Agnes trying to modernise the B&B with a “smart” kettle (spoiler: it short‑circuits) and a memorable cameo by a well‑known UK comedian playing a rival innkeeper.
Fans are buzzing about the upcoming special slated for December. Rumours suggest a holiday-themed episode where Agnes attempts a Christmas miracle that involves a runaway turkey and an accidental karaoke competition. Production confirmed the special via a short clip on Instagram, so keep an eye out.

The 2024 Mrs Brown's Boys Christmas special drew just 2.2 million viewers, its lowest ever, as fans slammed it and called for its cancellation. Criticism followed a racism controversy involving Brendan O'Carroll. Despite backlash and losing viewers to rivals, the BBC plans a new season in 2025.
