We’ll be updating this blog post with more Derry Girl season 3 information as it becomes available!
What is the release date of Derry Girls Season 3?
Channel 4 did not start filming because of the coronavirus pandemic.
In January 2021, the Bridgerton actress talked to the Belfast Telegraph. The cast of the movie is waiting for production to start up again because they need to film in Derry.
The people who make the movie still need to film it in Derry. They can’t do anything that involves a crowd right now, so it is hard for them.
“We were supposed to start filming around now,” she said on Angela Scanlon’s podcast in June 2020. “But when this all started, I think your brain makes assumptions to make you feel better. It might be a month, but that is not good enough.
The film has been put on hold. We are all excited to go back and start filming again. Until then, we can’t see the scripts.
In October 2020, Saoirse-Monica Jackson said that filming would continue to be postponed until the cast can reunite in Ireland.
And in August 2021, Siobhan McSweeney said that the plan was to film the third series later this year – although no definite dates were set yet.
To watch seasons one and two, you have to go to Channel 4 on the internet. Netflix said that season two will be delayed on their platform.
What is the plot of Derry Girls Season 3?

The gang is always doing bad things and Erin’s parents don’t like it. They also don’t like Sister Michael.
In series one, there were two big moments. One was when James from England joined the gang and Clare’s coming out story. You can remember all of this with a recap on episode six of season one of Derry Girls.
