Derry Girls became one of our favourite new sitcoms when it premiered last year, and we've been waiting in anticipation for its second series ever since.

Well, we now know exactly when we will return to Our Lady Immaculate College for series 2, and it's very soon – Tuesday, March 5 at 9.15pm to be exact.

We frankly can't wait to check in with Erin, Clare, Orla, Michelle and the wee English fella (aka James), and already got our first glimpse of the new episodes in a recent trailer.

It's nearly time to head back to Our Lady Immaculate College! Mark your diaries- #DerryGirls returns on Tuesday 5th March 9.15pm pic.twitter.com/gMsipOraON — Channel 4 (@Channel4) February 20, 2019

The clip gives us plenty of amazing nostalgic references, including "This and That" (Take That), Home and Away and some amazing 90s tunes to boot.

We'll be catching up with the gang after that rather poignant and heart wrenching ending to series 1, which reminded us of the seriousness of The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

Speaking of a second series, writer Lisa McGee previously said: "I'm absolutely delighted. Derry Girls is such a special project for me and it means so much that the audience have taken to Erin and the gang so warmly."

Derry Girls became Channel 4's biggest comedy since Derek launched in 2012, and no doubt the second series will be watched by many, many people too.

Last year, it was revealed that the channel was in "advanced talks" to commission a third series of the show, though no confirmation has emerged as of yet. Watch this space on that one.

Derry Girls returns on Channel 4 on March 5 at 9.15pm.
