'Derry Girls' has become a global sensation since it debuted in 2018, but like all good shows it knows when to quit.
The upcoming season 3 of the Derry-based show was confirmed earlier this year to run for only 3 seasons, and filming has now ended on the final season.
Star Nicola Coughlan tweeted "it's been quite a ride" after filming finished and show creator Lisa McGee tweeted a selfie from the set entitled "last day of school"
There have been no new episodes of the sitcom since 2019 after the production of season 3 was delayed owing to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Show creator Lisa McGee has stated that the show was always intended to end after 3 seasons which continues the grand tradition of great British and Irish sitcoms ending after less than 30 episodes.
In a statement in September, McGee said "Who knows if Erin, Clare, Orla, Michelle and James will return in some other guide someday, but for now, this is it for us and we're excited to start filming this series with our incredible cast and crew to hopefully take our loyal fans on one last adventure."
"Derry Girls is a love letter to the place I come from and the people who shaped me. It has been an honour to write it and I will forever be proud of everything it's achieved," she added.
In the wake of the shows success, Saoirse-Moica Jackson who plays Erin on the show has been tapped to appear in the new superhero film 'The Flash'.
No word yet on a release date for the final season of 'Derry Girls' but the show may well debut some time in 2022.
