She added: "You never know what will happen in 10 years’ time, but as a writer, you just know when it’s complete. I’ll miss them, but I feel like I got to take those characters exactly where I wanted to take them."
The new season of Derry Girls is arriving on our screens on Tuesday 12th April, with the show's final six episodes airing weekly on Channel 4.
Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Louisa Harland, Nicola Coughlan, Jamie-Lee O'Donnell and Dylan Llewellyn are all set to return for season 3, with Coughlan revealing that she "cried and cried" after reading the show's ending.
Channel 4 released a trailer for the upcoming episodes last month, teasing an appearance from The Split's Damien Molony, who plays a plumber hired to do some work for the Quinn family.
Derry Girls season 3 airs on Channel 4 at 9:15pm on Tuesday 12th April, and will be available on All 4. Looking for something else to watch? Check out our guide to the best series on Netflix and best movies on Netflix, or visit our TV Guide.
