Mrs. Brown's Boys

All Round to Mrs. Brown's[1] is a British-Irish comedy talk show created by and starring Brendan O'Carroll with his family and other cast members from his original comedy show, Mrs. Brown's Boys and Aly Mahmoud as Chef Aly. After the final episode of the first series aired, the BBC announced a second series, which started airing in 2018. A fourth series had been confirmed and started airing on 21 March and the series concluded on 25 April 2020. On 20 June it was confirmed that due to the COVID-19 pandemic the show will not return in 2021. In 2022 the series was officially cancelled.[2][3][4]

The first series was the final TV appearance of Rory Cowan as Rory Brown, since Cowan left the franchise shortly after. The second series starred Cowan's replacement, Damien McKiernan, who debuted in the role during the 2017 Christmas special of Mrs Brown's Boys.
