In all three seasons, the actors Coughlan and McSweeney played prominent roles in the critically acclaimed comedy series titled “Derry Girls,” written by Lisa McGee. The show concluded its run in the year 2022.

Instead of another season or a film spin-off, McSweeney expressed little interest in these possibilities.

In her conversation with Digital Spy in 2023, she expressed that what makes shows exceptional is the desire to see them conclude, without diluting their quality by extending them over long periods of time for many years.

I believe we’ve set the characters up in a positive situation – filled with hope and tranquility. Why don’t we keep them that way for now? After all, Sister Michael seems to be a constant presence in my thoughts, always by my side.

In the BAFTA TV Awards, the last season of Derry Girls was a massive hit, with McGee being honored as the Best Writer in the Scripted Comedy category and McSweeney receiving the prize for Outstanding Female Performance in a Comedy Series.
