In the ‘Derry Girls’ Series Finale, [SPOILER] Finally Receives Erin’s Letter

Rachel Seo editor SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for Season 3 of “Derry Girls.” Season 3 of “Derry Girls” opens with a dramatic montage set to the tune of uilleann pipes, depicting Erin Quinn (Saoirse-Monica Jackson), Orla McCool (Louisa Clare Harland), Clare Devlin (“Bridgerton” star Nicola Coughlan), James Maguire (Dylan Llewellyn) and Michelle Mallon (Jamie-Lee O’Donnell) leaning pensively against walls, playing soccer and doing cartwheels, interspersed with shots of burning cars and soldiers carrying guns. It’s the sort of montage that belongs in a period piece about growing up in Ireland during the ’90s — and, as it’s revealed, the kind that Erin, Orla, Clare, James and Michelle want to be remembered for, as they’ve created it themselves using James’ video camera. “They told us we were young,” Erin intones in a comically ponderous voiceover, “yet we understood the enormity of it. We understood what was at stake. Our fear was replaced with something altogether more terrifying…hope. Hope is so much worse.”

The third season of Derry Girls has welcomed a few famous faces, including Liam Neeson and a Peaky Blinders star, but there was a surprising cameo in the last few minutes of Wednesday night's hour-long special.

As the door opens, the letter is handed to activist and writer Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former President of the United States Bill Clinton and Hilary Clinton.

Derry Girls burst onto our screens in 2018 with an utterly hilarious first series. The show - created from the brilliant mind of Lisa McGee - is the dark comedy coming of age show (it's like The Inbetweeners for gals) we need in our lives, starring Saoirse-Monica Jackson as main character Erin.Over the series, we see Erin and her friends navigate Northern Ireland in the 90's during 'the troubles'.As the third and final series is currently all we can think and talk about, we thought we'd delved into the REAL life of main character Erin, played by Saoirse-Monica, and guess what, she's as amazing in real life as she is in the show.She's an Irish actress who is probably most famous for playing Erin Quinn in Derry Girls.The actress has been very open in how close the show is to her own upbringing.

Derry Girls season three has been revealed alongside its spring release date.In the clip, friends Erin (Saoirse-Monica Jackson), Clare (Nicola Coughlan), Michelle (Jamie-Lee O’Donnell) and James (Dylan Llewellyn) are seen visiting a video rental shop when they discover that Dennis (Paul Mallon), their aggressive local corner shop proprietor, is also working at the store.Dennis is irked when Clare asks him for a film recommendation, to which he says “no”, and then takes issue with her saying that the gang will just keep “reading” around for ideas of what to rent.“Bit of a read?
