Derry Girls Season 3 Plot

Derry Girls is a hilarious coming-of-age sitcom set in the Northern Ireland town of Londonderry, during the turbulent 1990s (referred to as "The Troubles"). Centred on a group of four teenage girls and one English boy, the show follows the teens as they navigate the hideously awkward adolescent years.

Even with British Army checkpoints, armed police, and "peace walls", they are constantly getting into trouble — if not by their parents, then with their wonderfully surly headmistress, Sister Michael.

Season one saw James (the lone English boy we mentioned earlier) join the fray and Clare's coming-out narrative.

As for Derry Girls season two, the main plot points include a budding romance between Erin and James. Proving that the old playground tactic of giving your biggest crush the most hell is still alive and well, fans of the show were excited when James saves her from complete social decimation when he turns up as her prom date after she is stood up. When asked by Radio Times whether there is a romantic future for the pair in season three, writer Lisa McGee said, "I think there might be".

The most memorable moment is at the end of season two with a speech by Bill Clinton, which is based on a real visit he made to the area in November 1995.
