Nicola Coughlan thinks the new series of 'Derry Girls' is a "real love letter to the fans".
Nicola Coughlan has teased season three of the show
The 35-year-old actress - who plays Clare Devlin in the hit comedy series - has told Cosmopolitan UK magazine that she hopes fans will love the third season of the show.
Nicola shared: "It's a real love letter to the fans. It was hard to get to this point because we were delayed so many times by COVID and so many other reasons. So getting to do it was a challenge ... But I just hope that we've done the fans of the show proud because that's what we all want so much."
Louisa Harland - who plays Orla McCool - believes that the new series is the best one yet.
She said: "I think it's quintessential 'Derry Girls', but it's elevated ... I think it's probably the best series.
"We haven't seen it, so we're just imagining, but the scripts are truly brilliant."
The Channel 4 comedy premiered in 2018, and Jamie-Lee O'Donnell - who plays the part of Michelle Mallon - feels "immensely proud" to have been involved with it.
However, the 30-year-old actress also feels sad to be saying goodbye to her on-screen character.
She said: "It's three seasons of what I consider a phenomenal show, and a great representation of Derry and working class people. It's something I will always be immensely proud of, but of course it's sad to say goodbye to Michelle."
Despite this, Jamie-Lee would love to reprise the role for a 'Derry Girls' spin-off.
Asked about the possibility, she replied: "I mean let's be honest, I would take [creator Lisa McGee's] phone call any day of the week about anything. But because every single character has so many layers to them and different personalities, the spin-off possibilities are endless.
"It would be interesting to see if that's something Lisa is interested in."
