Series 3 of Derry Girls will begin filming this year, it has been confirmed.
The highly-anticipated return of the hit sitcom was put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Nicola Coughlan, who plays Clare Devlin in the Channel 4 show, tweeted: "Can confirm Series 3 of Derry Girls is filming this year and I cannae bloody wait.
" Covid has pushed back filming several times which has been so sh*te, but honestly the story lines in this series are the best we’ve ever done so I can’t tell you how worth it the wait will have been."
After it's second series wrapped up in 2019, Derry Girls was immediately commissioned for another run.
Six more 30-minute episodes are due to appear on our screens some time in the near future.
Commenting on the series renewal at the time, Channel 4's Head of Comedy, Fiona McDermott, said: "It's no surprise that Derry Girls continues to delight a growing legion of fans.
"A combination of magical writing and adorable characters make this show both timely and timeless.
"We're delighted to confirm a third series - don't tell Ma Mary, but I'm breaking open the Christmas cupboard in celebration."
