Derry Girls wins Emmy

Derry Girls season three won best comedy at the 51st International Emmy Awards ceremony.

The hit Channel 4 series was announced joint winner alongside Indian Netflix production Vir Das: Landing, which first aired in 2022.

The shows beat out two other nominees: Argentinian show El Encargado, and season two of French show Le Flambeau.

Derry Girls writer and creator Lisa McGee simply tweeted 'Collection complete xxx' upon winning the award.

It comes off the back of wins at the Royal Television Society Awards, Irish Film and Television Awards and the Baftas.

Channel 4 has commissioned a new eight-part TV series from McGee, which will be set in Belfast.

The comedy-thriller How To Get To Heaven From Belfast, according to Channel 4 publicity, will follow three women from Belfast who meet up at the wake of an old friend.
