Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee hints at what is in store in season three

Since it launched in 2018, the sitcom has become one of the most popular shows on Channel 4 – and has captured the hearts of people across the globe.

And following the end of season two earlier this year (and the announcement that yes, season three is on the way), it’s safe to say that fans are eager for more.

Now, the series’ creator Lisa McGee has hinted what is in store when Derry Girls returns for season three.

Speaking to Her at the recent Virgin Media Television new season launch, she teased:

“[There’s] not really [much I can share], except they’ll definitely just be getting into more trouble.

“They haven’t grown up or wised up any, so there will be more shenanigans really.”

In case you’re unfamiliar with the show, Derry Girls is a candid, one-of-a-kind, family-centred comedy.

While series one saw the gang navigating their teens in 1990’s Derry against a backdrop of The Troubles, series two saw them navigating their parents, parties, love interests and school against the backdrop of a precarious peace process.

Following the news of Derry Girls’ season three renewal earlier this year, Lisa McGee said:

“I love writing this show and I’m so thrilled to be able to continue the Derry Girls story, thank you Channel 4, Erin and the eejits live to fight another day!”

Derry Girls series two launched with a consolidated audience of 3.2m viewers for episode one, which makes it Channel 4’s biggest UK comedy launch episode for 15 years.

In Northern Ireland, the series two launch has been the most watched programme across all channels since series one.

Derry Girls cast and creator break down the best moments from Season 2

Clare is drunk
“Yer mom’s drunk”

Derry Girls Season 2 was a joy to behold and with another season on the cards, JOE had the chance to chat with the cast and reflect on the last six episodes

Cracker!

With Season 3 of Derry Girls on the horizon, now’s the perfect time to reflect on those last six episodes, and unlike that famous wake when Michelle brought the ‘funny’ scones, things were slightly more normal when JOE had the chance to chat with Lisa McGee (writer/creator), Nicola Coughlan (Clare), Dylan Llewellyn (James), Louisa Harland (Orla), and Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Erin).

Here’s what they had to say on…

The opening scene when Orla interrupts Erin taking a bath.

Just like the very first scene in the show, Season 2 opens with Orla gatecrashing a very private moment of self-reflection for Erin when she’s in the bath and imagining what it’s liked to be interviewed by Terry Wogan.

Louisa Harland really hopes that every season of Derry Girls opens on her character being hilariously-intrusive!

Derry Girls will return for series three

The four girls and the wee English fella will return to Channel 4

Hot on the heels of the series two finale, Channel 4 has announced that Lisa McGee’s hit comedy Derry Girls will return for a third run.

The sitcom, which revolves around four teenage girls from Derry and one wee English fella in 1990s Northern Ireland, ended its second outing on a positive note with a rousing speech from Bill Clinton taken from his real-life 1995 visit to the city. Lisa McGee told RadioTimes.com that this was ushering in a more hopeful period for the gang, as their hometown marches towards peace and the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 (where the writer suggested she would like to wrap things up).

And, as soon as the episode finished, Channel 4 confirmed that another set of six episodes is on the way – meaning we’ll get to see how the ceasefire (announced in episode five of series two) changes things for Erin (Saoirse-Monica Jackson), Clare (Nicola Coughlan), Michelle (Jamie-Lee O’Donnell), Orla (Louisa Harland) and James (Dylan Llewellyn).

We also might get to see a bit more romance between James and Erin.

“I think the potential is there,” McGee said of their budding relationship. “It’s something I’m interested in seeing – I might toy with it next season, I’m not sure.”

We can’t wait to see how this one plays out…
