While the family try to get their heads around the possible outcomes of the vote, the gang realise that they may not be ready for what the future holds.”The episode will premiere the same week as the Derry Girls season three finale, which is scheduled to air on Channel 4 on May 17.Speaking about the special, show creator Lisa McGee, said: “Like all the very best 90s bands, I couldn’t resist ending our farewell tour with an encore for our loyal fans.

Derry Girls burst onto our screens in 2018 with an utterly hilarious first series.
