The third and final season of “Derry Girls” is finally making its way to Netflix. On Aug. 31, the streamer announced on Twitter that the new episodes would be released on the platform on Oct. 7. The season aired in the UK and Ireland in the spring, and American fans across the pond have been waiting to say goodbye to the lovable girls from Derry.

Back in September 2021, the show’s creator, Lisa McGee, shared a statement on Twitter about why the show was coming to an end. “It was always the plan to say goodbye after three series,” she wrote. “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 phase — which was a small, magical window of time.”

Though it’s hard to say goodbye, we’re excited to see what our favorite brash and completely lovable group of Northern Ireland teenagers has been up to. Season two left us with a lot of questions, namely whether Erin and James will finally get together or whether the politics of 1990s Northern Ireland will keep them apart.
