Lisa McGee would "love" to make a 'Derry Girls' movie.
Derry Girls
The Channel 4 comedy series - which became a huge hit when it launched in January 2018 - follows the lives of Erin (Saoirse-Monica Jackson) and her friends as they navigate through their teens in Derry in 1990s Northern Ireland, and the show's creator has insisted that she'd love to give a 90-minute film a good "crack".
Speaking to The Daily Star newspaper, McGee said: "I would love to do a film, I think. the 90-minute thing terrifies me but if I could find a story that worked and a structure that worked. I think I would love to give it a crack."
But McGee would like to make a third series of 'Derry Girls' before having a go at writing a film.
Speaking to website Joe.ie, she said: "We have to see how this series goes down first. If people like it then I'd love to make another series and then maybe after that, if that (a film) was an option, we'd think about it. Right now, it's definitely just a step by step process and we'll see. There's definitely a lot more story for them. I think there's a lot more for them to get up to."
'Derry Girls' is returning to television screens next Tuesday (06.03.19) and McGee explained that she was "nervous" trying to pen new storylines when the series was recommissioned.
She said: "I was a bit nervous at the start and coming up with these stories. But the minute it was recommissioned I knew it had to happen. I had to sort of get over that and just put that to one side and concentrate on what stories you want to tell and what first excited me to write the show in the beginning."
