Derry Girls' Siobhan McSweeney has spoken about the future of the show, almost a year to the day after it ended.
The '90s-set comedy was always planned by creator Lisa McGee to finish after three series. However, now that it's finished, are the people behind it wanting it to come back?
Speaking to Digital Spy and other press outlets at the BAFTA Television Awards last night (May 14), where she won Best Female Comedy Performance and the series itself won Best Scripted Comedy, McSweeney wasn't so sure Derry Girls should come back at this point.

"I think the thing that makes shows great is that you want to end them, and don't ruin them by dragging them out for years and years and years," said McSweeney, who played Sister Michael on the show.
"So I think we've left the characters in a good place, a good place of hope, a place of peace. So why not leave them there for the time being? I see Sister Michael every time I open my eyes anyway. She's always with me."
"It would never be down to me anyway," she added later on. "I became an actor to live as many lives as possible anyway."

While Derry Girls won tons of critical acclaim and awards over the years, what might have been most exciting for creator Lisa McGee was that that legendary director Martin Scorsese was a fan, especially of the nun characters.
"Excuse me while I drop dead and actually die a death," McGee tweeted on seeing a clip of him talking about watching the series.
Derry Girls streams in full on Channel 4, while the first two series are streaming on Netflix.
