It's bound to be an emotional farewell to the Derry Girls!
The hit show Derry Girls is sadly coming to an end, but until now we never knew when exactly we'd get its much anticipated final season.
And to be honest, we still don't. But what we do know is that filming has started!
After a huge delay due to Covid, writer Lisa McGee confirmed on Twitter this morning that filming for the Derry Girls finale has just gotten underway.
We’ve come a long long way together. Let’s do this one last time!!! #DerryGirls pic.twitter.com/BefPXrFgOf

Since the show's first release in January of 2018, it's become a cultural phenomenon - loved by the Irish as well as millions of people around the globe who have managed to understand the sense of humour (and the accents) despite a massive cultural divide.
And as Derry Girls comes to a close, we're still not entirely sure what to expect, but people cannot wait to dive in:
I ? this show.
I grew up in Australia, with a Northern Irish father and can relate to so much in this show! Friday night fish and chips lol ? ?— ☘Shani☘ (@waywardshamrock) October 4, 2021
Ah brilliant stuff. Can't wait for Season 3 (even if it's the final one ?).....but then will wait with anticipation for "Derry Girls - The Movie" ? I'm sure this will be as good, if not even better, than what went before.Stand by for more smiles, tears and laughter #DerryGirls

I’m gonna miss them so much ? Are we only getting six episodes, or a bonus one too ? pic.twitter.com/fPsJMry3V3

While we're sad it will be the last, we viewers will savour every moment of the new season. Here's hoping the cast and crew have even a fraction of the fun making it as we do watching it. ?
