Derry Girls is finally coming to Netflix next month and our little hearts are filled with so much joy.

The hit Channel 4 comedy series, which was confirmed to have been picked up for a third season just weeks ago, will officially be returning to the streaming platform once again, only this time in full.

Die hard fans of Erin (Saoirse-Monica Jackson), Orla (Louisa Harland), Clare (Nicola Coughlan), Michelle (Jamie-Lee O’Donnell) and the gang will remember that the first series had been available to stream on the viewing platform but has since been removed.

But no fear because all will be well in the world again, like really soon.

Speaking about the show’s renewal, Lisa McGee, the show’s creator, said: ‘I love writing this show and I’m so thrilled to be able to continue the Derry Girls story, thank you Channel 4, Erin and the eejits live to fight another day!’

Fiona McDermott, head of comedy at Channel 4, added: ‘It’s no surprise that Derry Girls continues to delight a growing legion of fans – a combination of magical writing and adorable characters make this show both timely and timeless.

‘We’re delighted to confirm a third series – don’t tell Ma Mary, but I’m breaking open the Christmas cupboard in celebration.’

Derry Girls will be available to stream on Netflix on May 8.
