    Feb. 12, 2026

Ever wondered if you could get directly from Belfast to heaven? The eight-episode comedy-thriller series from Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee is here to answer that question. You can watch it right now.

Starring Roísín Gallagher as Saoirse, Sinéad Keenan as Robyn, and Caoilfhionn Dunne as Dara, How to Get to Heaven from Belfast is a story about friendship, memory, and what happens when life doesn’t turn out quite like you’d expected. 

“We got the gang back together — the creative team behind Derry Girls has reunited to bring you How to Get to Heaven from Belfast,” creator, writer, and executive producer McGee tells 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.”

The creator adds that she’s “in awe of this cast, their talent, timing and chemistry.” And also praises Michael Lennox’s direction as “simply stunning.” She continues, “Netflix has been so incredibly supportive of our mad vision. Get ready to piece this puzzle together. And remember — a good friend keeps your secrets, but a great friend helps you bury them.” 

What’s How to Get to Heaven from Belfast about?

Clever, chaotic TV writer Saoirse; glamorous, stressed-out mother of three Robyn; and dependable, inhibited carer Dara have been a tight-knit group since school. Now in their late 30s, but still as close as ever, these three friends are about to embark on the most thrilling adventure of their lives. When an email arrives, telling them about the death of the estranged fourth member of their childhood gang, a series of eerie events at her wake sets them on a dark, dangerous, and hilarious odyssey through Ireland and beyond as each tries to piece together the truth about the past.
