When will Derry Girls series three be out?
There's not yet any confirmation on when we can expect Derry Girls to land on our screens, but scripts have been written and production has already begun. Like so many shows, however, filming had to be paused just before it started due to the pandemic.
Speaking back in July 2020, star Nicola Coughlan, who plays Clare Devlin, explained on a comedy podcast: "We were meant to start filming around now... but filming has been put on hold for now which sucks, and we're all really excited to go back and start again and see the scripts because we actually haven't [yet]. We made the second series back in 2018, so it's been a long time since we've been together filming."
