The Exploring Northern Ireland presenter called season three is a “scheduling nightmare”. <\/p>
Derry Girls star Siobhan McSweeney has revealed that the team behind the Channel 4 comedy are hoping to film series three later this year.<\/p>\n
In an exclusive interview with\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/strong><\/a>, McSweeney said that, while she hadn\u2019t seen the scripts for the upcoming episodes yet, production on Derry Girls<\/a>\u2018 third series is set to begin soon.<\/p>\n \u201cThe one thing I would say is that we are hoping to do it this year. It\u2019s a scheduling nightmare, as you can imagine.<\/p>\n \u201c[Show creator] Lisa [McGee] doesn\u2019t want to compromise on quality, obviously, but I think we\u2019re all very impatient to get it done for very obvious reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n On what she hopes is in store for her character Sister Michael, McSweeney joked: \u201cThat we do series three before she dies.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know. That\u2019s the really exciting thing about being an actor, I don\u2019t know where she\u2019s going to end up \u2013 that\u2019s down to Lisa\u2019s ideas but whatever she gets up to, she will be suitably unimpressed.\u201d<\/p> McSweeney, who is set to host More4\u2019s upcoming travel series Exploring Northern Ireland with Siobhan McSweeney, has starred in Derry Girls since its first series premiered back in 2018.<\/p>\n Filming on the upcoming season three was due to start filming back in June 2020, however, due to the coronavirus pandemic, production was delayed.<\/p>\n Saoirse-Monica Jackson, who plays Erin, said in October that production would be postponed until the cast were able to reunite in Ireland.<\/p>\n The comedy, created by Lisa McGee, centres around a group of teenagers living in Derry during The Troubles and the various shenanigans they get into whilst attending the local Catholic secondary school.<\/p>\n Exploring Northern Ireland with Siobhan McSweeney airs Thursday 12th August at 9pm on More4.
