When is Derry Girls on? Where to watch Season 3 in Ireland as new episode airs tonight

Fans of Derry Girls are counting down the hours until it returns to TV screens.

Season 3 of the popular sitcom kicked off last week and left viewers in stitches.

It saw the gang ending up facing authority after hatching a plan to find out their exam results earlier - which introduced a widely-praised cameo appearance from Liam Neeson.

The show has been an enormous success since it first hit our screens in 2018.

Set in Derry during the 1990s, it follows the antics of four friends (and a wee English fella) as they deal with the many issues facing teens during the period in the north.

Written by Lisa McGee, it has been praised for both its humour and the handling of the complicated history of Derry.

Season 3 has already been confirmed as the final one and will be made up of six episodes, with a new instalment coming out at the same time every week.

When is Derry Girls on?

Derry Girls returns to TV screens on Tuesday night as the second episode of the final series airs.

Viewers in Ireland can watch the show on Channel 4 at 9.15pm on April 19.

Tuesday night’s episode is titled The Affair, and a preview for it reads: “Jenny Joyce has big plans for the fundraising talent show. Sister Michael better brace herself. Meanwhile, Ma Mary is at the end of her rope, but salvation is just around the corner in the unlikely form of a plumber.”

Series editor Nigel Williams has said it is “one of his favourite episodes” of the series.

He wrote on Twitter: "#DerryGirls 3.2 tonight. It’s one of my favourite eps of this series, but then they’re all class!"

Viewers can also catch up on previous episodes via the Channel 4 player.
