Where was Derry Girls filmed? Season 3 set locations of Channel 4 series starring Saoirse-Monica Jackson

Derry Girls is back on our screens with its third and final season.

The hit comedy show that is set in Northern Ireland’s city of Derry, has become symbolic for its side-splitting one-liners and 90s nostalgia.

Whilst we prepare to say goodbye to Erin, Orla, Claire, Michelle and the, ‘wee English fella,’ fans of the show are asking where Derry Girls is filmed and most importantly - how they can visit their favourite set locations?

Here’s everything you need to know about where Derry Girls was filmed in Northern Ireland.

Where was Derry Girls filmed?

Derry Girls was filmed in Derry and Belfast in Northern Ireland.

Fans of the show are able to visit many of the set locations and even snap a selfie infront of the Derry Girls mural in Derry.

The mural which was created by local not-for-profit company, UV Arts, is located on the side of Badger’s Bar and Restaurant, overlooking the Bogside.

What can we expect from Derry Girls season 3?

The final season of Derry Girls will follow Erin, Orla, Claire, Michelle and James as they receive their GCSE results and start planning their next steps as young adults.

Season 3 is set amidst the backdrop of the changing political climate in Northern Ireland and the Good Friday Agreement, which was signed in 1998, is expected to be a key feature.

How many episodes will be in season 3?

Season 3 will be a six-part series.

Will there be a season 4 of Derry Girls?

Derry Girls will not be returning for a fourth season, with season 3 being the last.

In September 2021 show writer and Derry native Lisa McGee confirmed in a statement that the show would not be returning.

McGee said: "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 new more hopeful phrase - which was a small, magical window of time."

Will there be a Derry Girls movie?

There has been talk of a movie or possible Derry Girls spin off show.

Whilst on the red carpet at the season 3 premiere in Derry, Ms McGee spoke to the Sunday Life saying: "What I want to do is a spin-off with Ma Mary and Aunt Sarah solving crime and setting up a detective agency in Derry. Wouldn’t that be incredible?”

When asked about any movie plans, McGee said: "A movie isn’t on my radar at the moment, not right now. You never know, but I have other commitments, as does Michael."

You can watch Derry Girls season 3 on Channel 4 this Tuesday, at 9.15pm.
