It seems crazy, but we just typed “2023” for the first time on this January BritBox schedule post. We're nearly finished with 2022, so it's time to start looking ahead at what's coming in 2023 – and Vera fans will be very, very pleased with what's to come.

Don't have a BritBox subscription? You can sign up HERE on their website, or HERE on Amazon Video. Both options offer the same content, but some people find one or the other offers better compatibility with their devices or internet service provider.

Sometimes, there's a short delay for new content to arrive on the Prime version of the channel, so if TV is a big part of your life and you demand to see every show immediately after it comes on, we recommend going direct (even if it means buying a Roku or similar device to get it on your TV).

New British TV Shows on BritBox in January 2023

January 1st BritBox Premieres

Mrs. Brown's Boys returns on January 1st

Mrs. Brown's Boys New Year Special

This zany, much-loved Irish comedy returns for a festive half-hour New Year's special with plenty of laughs and ridiculous antics.

For those not familiar with the series, Mrs. Brown's Boys stars Brendan O'Carroll as Agnes Brown, the matriarch of a loud, but close-knit family that manages to find no end of trouble. Each episode begins with a fourth-wall-breaking monologue, and ends with a similar goodbye. Many episodes also end with a musical performance from the cast.

Season 7 of Vera will arrive on BritBox at the beginning of January

Vera, Season 7

Brenda Blethyn stars as DCI Vera Stanhope in this long-running Northumberland-based British mystery based on the novels of Ann Cleeves. Previously, season 7 was still on Acorn TV, but it left in mid-2022 and it's been purchase-only since then. Beginning January 1st, it will be free to stream under your BritBox subscription.

Paul O'Grady: For the Love of Dogs, Seasons 2-4

Dog lover and comedian Paul O'Grady explores the close bond between humans and dogs. This multi-award winning documentary series is set at the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home (famous as the source of many of the Downing Street cats), it spotlights the great work being done, following some of the dogs as they progress through the home.

Fun fact: O'Grady was scheduled to film at Battersea for six days, but he ended up staying on as a volunteer for six months…and additional seasons were later commissioned.

27 half-hour episodes will premiere on the 15th.
