Writer Lisa McGee, the stars and crew of the show are expected to turn up the red carpet outside the city’s Omniplex Cinema on Thursday evening before they join invited guests at a preview screening of the new season.
A trailer for the long-awaited final series of the critically acclaimed, award-winning Derry Girls was released on St Patrick’s Day.
While series one observed the gang navigating their teens in 1990s Derry against a backdrop of The Troubles, series two charted them navigating their parents, parties, love interests and school against the backdrop of a precarious peace process.

The show will once again follow Erin (Saoirse-Monica Jackson), her cousin Orla (Louisa Harland) and friends Clare (Nicola Coughlan), Michelle (Jamie-Lee O’Donnell) and Michelle’s tag along English cousin, aka The Wee English Fella, James (Dylan Llewellyn).
