Good decision we say! The 90s series has broken modern TV records for the broadcaster in the past two years and earned rave reviews.
Series writer Lisa McGee said she is looking forward to bringing her ‘eejits’ back to our screens again.
“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!,” McGee said.
