The iconic Derry Girls mural has received a 'temporary' update ahead of the finale series of the sitcom starting on Channel 4 next week. The street art, which shows the five teenagers in their school uniforms, was first painted back in 2019 by UV Arts to promote the second series and has now had a revamp fit for series three.
Broadcaster Channel 4 announced the news on Twitter on April 7 posting a picture of the makeover with the caption: "The #DerryGirls mural has had a temporary update! Series 3 lands on your screens Tuesday 12th at 9.15pm". The street art is on the side of Badger's Bar and Restaurant in Derry, Northern Ireland.
The sitcom follows a teenage friendship group - played by Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Louisa Harland, Nicola Coughlan, Jamie-Lee O'Donnell and Dylan Llewellyn - growing up in the 90s during The Troubles in Northern Ireland. In the latest mural update, Derry Girl Michelle Mallon played by Jamie-Lee O'Donnell has switched from her usual peace pose with two fingers and can be seen holding up three fingers - hinting at the third series release.
