Derry Girls series three release date confirmed for the Channel 4 sitcom

Popular Channel 4 sitcom Derry Girls, based on the lives of five teenagers living through the Troubles in Northern Ireland, is back for a third and final series. Well-loved characters Erin, Clare, Orla, Michelle, and James will star in the series that has viewers regularly in hysterics.

It has been three years since series two aired on Channel 4 and now Derry Girls will be back on Saturday, April, 12 with the original cast in their normal roles. Saoirse-Monica Jackson will be playing Erin, Bridgeton star Nicola Coughlan as Clare, Louisa Harland as Orla, Jamie-Lee O'Donnell as Michelle, and Dylan Llewellyn as James.

The second series ended with James choosing to stay in Derry, instead of going back to England with his mum, being accepted as an honorary "Derry Girl" and a hint of romance between him and Erin. Nicola has also revealed that she will be playing her character Clare in a "reduced" role after filming for Derry Girls clashed with her other projects like the Netflix hit Bridgerton.
