Coming-of-age comedy Derry Girls is finally returning for its third and final series. Season 2 of the much-loved Channel 4 show was shown in 2019 - but repeated delays to filming caused by the coronavirus pandemic mean viewers have had to wait three years for the latest instalment.
And, to the dismay of die-hard fans, writer Lisa McGee confirmed in a statement on Twitter last year that ‘it was always the plan to say goodbye after three series’. With a quick-witted script full of 90s school days nostalgia, it's easy to see why the show will be missed.
Derry Girls season 3 starts tonight (Tuesday, April 12) on Channel 4 and new episodes are set to be released weekly at 9.15pm. It’s anticipated that there will be six episodes in total and catch up will be available on All 4.
