MRS Brown’s Boys viewers are convinced Agnes will die – as she slipped into a coma.

Show creator Brendan O’Carroll portrays the loud-mouth matriarch Agnes.

However, the sitcom has been a magnet for criticism since its debut in 2011.

In the latest episode, viewers watched on as Agnes fell into a coma and was taken to hospital.

The ending featured her doctors revealing they’ll have to turn off the life support machines.

Writing online, fans have been left certain of Agnes’ demise – albeit very divided in their reactions.

One said on X: “Is she dead? Is this the last ever series?? Fingers crossed!!!”

Another penned: “RIP Mrs Brown – thanks for the laughs.”

A third added: “What a strange ending! Has she passed away?”

While a fourth remarked: “She’s DEAD. Finally we’re free from the curse of the worst show on tv.”

Viewers who have already watched the whole series on iPlayer will know this is not the end for Agnes.

One further episode in the current series is still to be aired on BBC One.

Elsewhere, the long-running show’s future is yet to be officially confirmed.

The sitcom is currently on series five, with no confirmation yet about further instalments.

Mrs Brown’s Boys fifth ‘mini-series’ was previously announced in January – and those episodes are airing now.

Creator-star Brendan told the Daily Star at the time: “We are going to film another series in April and May [2025].

“It’s lovely to be asked to do another one.”

The BBC’s head of comedy, Jon Petrie, added: “Brendan has created an iconic comedy character in Agnes Brown.

“Mrs. Brown’s Boys is a BAFTA-winning comedy show and one of the BBC’s most-watched comedies ever… I’m proud to have it in the BBC Comedy stable.”

Mrs Brown’s Boys airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
