The third season of Derry Girls received the green flag on 9 April 2019, just after the finale of the second season. The cast and crew were to start filming for Derry Girls Season 3 in May 2020. However, global pandemic failed their plans quite successfully. In a recent interview, one of the lead actress, Nicola Coughlan, shared her disappointment on not being able to start the filming. She said, “11 May was our start date. So it wasn’t fun noticing that day come and go without us being there, but look, we’ve just got to be patient with it, and we’ve got to remember we’re doing the right thing right now with waiting.”
