It’s safe to say that we’re all absolutely glued to Derry Girls at the moment, bursting our sides laughing while also quietly sobbing that this third season is also going to be the last.

With all good things however, they must unfortunately come to an end. Breaking the news last year, the show’s creator Lisa McGee admitted that it was time to finish the show, as both the actors and teenagers in the series grow up.

“It was always the plan to say goodbye after three series,” admitted Lisa.

“Derry Girls is a coming-of-age story; following five ridiculous teenagers as they slowly… very slowly… start to become adults, while around them the place they call home starts to change too and Northern Ireland enters a new more hopeful phrase – which was a small, magical window of time.”


Saying goodbye to Erin, Orla, Clare, Michelle and James, as well as the iconic Aunt Sarah, Ma Mary, Da Gerry, Granda Joe and Sister Michael was never going to be easy, but we cannot believe we’re nearly at the end, *sobs again*.

Ending on May 17th at 9pm, it’s believed the show will end with the “perfect conclusion” according to Dylan Llewellyn who plays James, when speaking to The Guardian.

Apparently, one more bonus episode is set to drop next week too following the finale on Tuesday, so keep your eyes peeled for that.

So there you have it, a date for the diary that’s creeping up on us all too quick.
