The show's synopsis reads: "Inspired by the creator's experience of working and volunteering in prisons, this series brings us a view of incarceration unlike any other.

Derry Girls is Channel 4's hit sitcom
Derry Girls fans will also be pleased to know that the hit Channel 4 sitcom started filming for its third series in September after being postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Sadly, it looks like the third series will be the last as Derry Girls creator, Lisa McGee, recently released a statement saying: "It was always the plan to say goodbye after three series. 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 more hopeful phase.
"Who knows if Erin, Clare, Orla, Michelle and James will return in some other guise someday, but for now this is it for us."
