Yes, That Was Liam Neeson in the New Series of "Derry Girls"

Series three of "Derry Girls" is finally upon us, and after seeing Channel 4's incredible revival of the Smash Hits Magazine, we're certain that the new series has a few more surprises in store. After the roller coaster of emotions that series two brought, we're expecting a lot from series three and hoping that it'll answer many of our questions and tie up some storylines for good.

The third series of "Derry Girls" was also set to feature an exciting celebrity cameo, which is revealed pretty early on in episode one. During the episode, the group are taken into a nearby police station after a number of expensive computers were reported stolen from the school. Chief Constable Byers leads the investigation at the station, and he's played by none other than "Taken" actor Liam Neeson.

On his role in the series, Neeson said that "I was delighted to be able to play a wee part of the final series of "Derry Girls". I'm a huge fan of the series, the talented Lisa McGee's incredible writing and the superb ensemble cast. It's such a unique and special show with real heart and amazing to see the lives of ordinary, funny people living in Northern Ireland during The Troubles played out in a Channel 4 comedy. It was lovely to be back filming there and having fun with them all."

The series creator, Lisa McGee, shared a little insight into having Neeson on the set, too. "Thanks for watching lads! Our code name for Liam during the shoot was ' the big fella' arguably quite an easily cracked code. What an honour to have him in our wee show. Our very own Northern Star," she shared on Twitter.
