Sadly for fans, there hasn't been a full series of Mrs Brown's Boys since the third outing aired way back in 2013. Since then, the series has kept going in the forms of the 2014 movie, numerous seasonal specials and a touring musical.
The BBC have commissioned festive episodes of the sitcom through to 2020, but after that it's unclear where Mammy will go next.
If the show were to be cancelled outright, star Brendan O'Carroll knows exactly what would happen in the final episode.
He said in an interview with The Daily Star: "We are booked to do Christmas specials for the BBC until 2020 but if they go, 'We are going to drop you as we don't think it's strong enough' then I'd kill Agnes off.
"Our final episode would be the funniest show I've ever written for the first 24 minutes. Then the last four minutes would break your f**king heart."
