HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN FROM BELFAST trailer released
Northern Ireland’s next big Netflix sensation arrives on our screens in February 2026, and if you loved DERRY GIRLS, you’re in for a wild ride. Lisa McGee, the BAFTA-winning creator who captured hearts with her beloved sitcom, is back with HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN FROM BELFAST, a genre-bending comedy thriller that promises to be darker, stranger, and more unpredictable than anything she’s done before. At the heart of this twisted tale are three women bound together by childhood and circumstance: Saoirse, a chaotic TV writer barely holding it together; Robyn, a stressed-out mother of three juggling life’s endless demands; and Dara, the dependable carer who keeps everyone grounded.
They grew up together in a quiet Northern Ireland town and have remained fiercely loyal to one another through the years. But when an email arrives announcing the death of the estranged fourth member of their childhood gang, everything changes. Despite the years of silence and unresolved tension, the three friends decide to attend her wake, setting off on what McGee describes as a “dark, dangerous and hilarious odyssey through Ireland and beyond.” What begins as a simple journey to pay respects quickly spirals into something far more sinister as a series of eerie events unfold along their route across Ireland, and a dark childhood secret that’s been buried for decades threatens to claw its way to the surface.
McGee couldn’t be more excited about reuniting the creative team behind DERRY GIRLS for this ambitious new project. “We got the gang back together,” she told Netflix’s Tudum. “This is the show I’ve always wanted to make; a mash-up of my two favorite genres, mystery and comedy. We want to keep you guessing and keep you laughing. I can’t wait for you to meet Saoirse, Robyn and Dara, and go on this wild, weird adventure with them—an Irish odyssey—full of twists, turns, and arguments about eyelash extensions.” It’s that signature blend of the profound and the absurd, the terrifying and the hilarious, that makes McGee’s storytelling so distinctive. Where DERRY GIRLS found comedy in the chaos of growing up during the Troubles, HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN FROM BELFAST promises to explore the haunting power of the past and the lengths we’ll go to protect the people we love, all while delivering the sharp wit and authentic Irish sensibility that made McGee a household name.
