When Does "Derry Girls" Season Two (2019) Take Place?

"Derry Girls" season two is a comedy historical fiction television series showran by Lisa McGee that released March 5th, 2019. So when is "Derry Girls" season 2 set? 


It takes place in the year: 

1994? AD - 1995 AD 


We know this because season 2 episode 6 "The President" features the real-world visit to Derry of United States of American President William Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton on November 30th, 1995 AD. So it must be November of 1995 AD at this point. 

Furthermore, in season 2 episode 2 "Ms De BrĂșn and the Child of Prague" Erin Quinn's family goes to see the film "The Usual Suspects" (1995) in the theater. It released in Ireland on December 15th, 1995 AD. So it must be during or after December of 1995 AD. 

More specifically, in the same episode the family discovers that the girls have raided "the Christmas cupboard", Mary Quinn says, "And with Christmas around the bend!" and Gerry Quinn comments, "8? months away." So it's certainly April of 1995? AD at this point. 

12.1995 - 8? months = 4.1995. 

This BBC.com article by Mike McBride examines its exact setting.
