The books, entitled The Mammy, The Chisellers, The Granny, and The Young Wan, were first published in Ireland, before being made available in the United Kingdom. Browne's Boys (the 'e' in Browne was later dropped) appeared first on Irish radio station RTÉ 2fm in 1992, then in a series of books written by Brendan O'Carroll from the mid-1990s onwards. In March 2023 it was announced by the BBC that the series will return later in the year for a mini series. Brown's Boys D'Movie, was released on 27 June 2014. A stage show has continued to run, and during February and March 2014 it toured Australia. For the sitcom, the spelling of Agnes' surname was shortened from Browne to Brown. The character, Agnes Browne, first appeared in stage plays, radio plays, books, and straight-to-DVD films. Brown's Boys was developed from O'Carroll's works going back to the early 1990s.
The show has won numerous industry awards. It also received high ratings in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Despite being lambasted by critics and unfavorable comparisons to Father Ted, the show became a ratings success in both Ireland, where it is set, and the United Kingdom, where it is recorded.
The show adopts an informal production style often breaking the fourth wall, where production mistakes and tomfoolery, mostly instigated by O'Carroll, are edited into each episode. The series stars O'Carroll as Agnes Brown, with several close friends and family members making up the rest of the cast. Brown's Boys is an Irish television sitcom created by and starring Brendan O'Carroll and produced in the United Kingdom by BBC Scotland in partnership with BOC-PIX and Irish broadcaster RTÉ.
