DERRY GIRLS may be coming to a conclusion, but writer Lisa McGee says she refuses to rule out a return to the comedy in the form of a film at some point in the future. McGee said her immediate thoughts about the show was that it had come to an end and the characters had been taken to “where we wanted to take them”.
Channel 4 has confirmed that DERRY GIRLS season 3 will return April 12th, reuniting us with the whole gang for the third and final time. Erin, Clare, Orla, Michelle and the ‘wee English fella’ James will all return in the 1990s-set Northern Irish comedy, following a DERRY GIRLS season 3 trailer showing the girls and James all enjoying their final school days.
The DERRY GIRLS Season 3 trailer has been released! Created and written by Lisa McGee, the show follows a group of Northern Irish teens and their families in 1990s Derry, who always find ways to amuse themselves and get on with their lives despite a divided political atmosphere. In series three, there’s hope in the air that The Troubles may finally be over, but the group’s troubles are only just getting started as they get ever closer to adulthood.
The DERRY GIRLS star shares on her passion for mime, getting fashion inspiration from Debbie Harry, and the podcast that helped her embrace her love of Anne Rice. The Irish actor and presenter Siobhán McSweeney, 42, earned a science degree from the University College Cork before moving to London to study at the Central School of Speech and Drama. She performed at the National Theatre, then landed her breakthrough TV role as Sister Michael in the hit Channel 4 sitcom DERRY GIRLS.
