Derry Girls season 3 episode 6, however, was quickly followed by The Agreement, a one-hour special set one year after the events of the finale. With Erin and Orla annoyed that the Good Friday Agreement referendum might overshadow their joint 18th birthday party, the prospect of adulthood begins to dawn, and it isn't pretty.

If you find yourself eager to watch the Derry Girls finale online while you're off on holiday or abroad for business, you’ll likely encounter annoying geo-restrictions that will prevent you from accessing your usual streaming service.

Luckily, getting the best VPN – otherwise known as a virtual private network – offers a simple solution. It alters your IP address to make it appear like you’re somewhere else.

Where to watch Derry Girls season 3 around the world

(opens in new tab)

As with the first two seasons, Derry Girls fans in the US, Canada and Australia will be able to watch the gang's latest antics on Netflix.

The only catch is that, at the time of writing, there's no word on when Derry Girls season 3 will come to Netflix. 

It took the best part of a year for the first two seasons to make their way to the streaming service, and while we hope that's not the case for season 3, you might want to brace yourself for another lengthy wait to avoid disappointment.

In the meantime, you can refresh your memory with the previous two seasons, which are still available on Netflix for you to watch.
