The end of the Channel 4 sitcom Derry Girls is looming ever closer and although many of us don't want to say goodbye to the cracker characters, sadly it won't be long before we have to. The popular coming-of-age drama has been on our screens since 2018, but the show's writer Lisa McGee has already confirmed that series three is the final installment from the girls and the 'wee English fella'.
In September 2021, Lisa took to Twitter to tell fans "it was always the plan to say goodbye after three series" but added that it had been an "honour" to write the sitcom, which has since gained a global fandom. But the hope for fans is that we could see the return of the characters in the future, as Lisa added: "Who knows if Erin, Clare, Orla, Michelle and James will return in some other guise someday, but for now this is it for us".
Many of the cast have gone on to star in other hit shows, Nicola Coughlan (Clare) is now part of Netflix's hit period drama Bridgerton and earlier this year Jamie-Lee O'Donnell (Michelle) played the lead in Channel 4 prison drama Screw. Dylan Llewellyn (James) is also set to star in a new Channel 4 sitcom, Big Boys.
