"This will be one of the most important jobs I've ever done and I think it's always going to stay at that. I'm extremely proud of the show and extremely proud of Lisa, and I think that she's ended on such a beautiful note. It was claps and hugs and it was bittersweet. The best way to describe it is I've been fulfilled by the experience. You don't want to drag it out, and we always knew that [creator Lisa McGee] wanted to take it up to the Good Friday Agreement. So you want to say goodbye to them when they're still there, if that makes sense."

That’s a very vague answer, but I think people will be very happy.” Without spoiling too much, I think people will be very pleased with Clare’s storyline this season. Ahead of the return of Derry Girls next week, Stylist spoke to Nicola Coughlan about what’s in store for her character in season three – and she shared a very exciting detail.
Lisa McGee's hysterical Channel 4/Netflix comedy about adolescent trials and tribulations in 1990s Northern Ireland returns for its final season.
The scene-stealing, eye-rolling Sister Michael is also back, on crutches (“You should see the other guy”) and merrily sowing seeds of doubt amongst her anxious pupils ahead of exam results day. Plot points for season 3 are being kept closely guarded, so there’s little else we can tease about the first two episodes. (Michelle’s vote is for Braveheart, which, judging from the cover, is clearly about a Scottish drag queen.)
Many actors and crew members of Derry Girls joined writer Lisa McGee in Derry on April 7, 2022, for the world premiere of Derry Girls Season 3.
Derry Girls Season 3 picks up shortly afterwards, on the eve of GCSE results day. Northern Ireland-based Derry Girls follows 4 teen girls in high school having all kinds of naughtiness. Derry Girls Season 3 will release later internationally by Netflix. The gang frequently finds themselves in crazy situations that almost always lead them lying to their parents, sneak off on crazy adventures and get caught up in wild situations. However, Derry Girls Season 3 has already released its first-look teaser, with a short clip apparently showing that the girls and the 'wee English fella' James are getting arrested. After several delays, Channel 4's sitcom Derry Girls Season 3 is finally arriving later this year.
Derry Girls is coming to an end after season 3, but the cast seem keen to get involved in a spin-off...
And so I went into this series knowing it's the last time I got to play Clare. But yeah, an Uncle Colm spin off, I would watch the hell out of that." Lucy joined the WhatToWatch.com team in 2021, where she writes series guides for must-watch programmes and the latest TV news. She is a Rotten Tomatoes approved film critic and has a huge passion for cinema. But I think the show [as it is] will always be close to my heart, those sort of monumental moments of having all the girls together is something really special." But will Derry Girls season 3 really be the last we see of these much-loved characters? Derry Girls seasons 1 and 2 are available on All4 now.

It’s a sign that the show has been successful that they’re going on to do these great things but they’re always going to be Derry Girls, even the ones that aren’t!” “There’s a lot of people who recognise that the school in the show was Thornhill. The motto was the same on the blazers, ‘Adveniat Regnum Tuum,’ and people recognise other things in the show. This is the final series of Derry Girls for now but Lisa says there’s always room for more in the future: “You just never know where it’s going to go or what’s going to happen so, as a writer, you always leave those doors open. I think if you went to an all girls school or a Catholic school you get the show in a different way.” Derry was always viewed as somewhere in relation to Belfast but now Derry is known in itself to people throughout the world. Once I hear people laughing at the premiere tonight I’ll be able to settle but if they don’t I won’t!
With final season of Channel 4 sitcom about to air, Derry residents hope it will leave lasting legacy.
The show’s writer and creator, Lisa McGee, and cast and crew returned to Derry on Thursday night for a red carpet premiere of the new season’s first two episodes followed by a reception at the Guildhall. It’s shown a side of the place that has not been shown an awful lot, for instance the more ridiculous elements of day to day life. It shows you that there was a sense of normality. Tourists visit Derry to walk the same streets as the characters, devour Derry Girls-themed afternoon teas and take selfies at a mural on the side of Badgers Bar on Orchard Street. “Netflix has given us a global platform. The Ulster Museum in Belfast included the prop in an exhibition on cultural stereotypes. It will leave a lasting legacy.”
