The new Netflix series, How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, created by Lisa McGee, the writer behind Derry Girls, will premiere soon! An official release date has been announced, and a first trailer is now available.
I’m super hyped because the show is dropping on Netflix worldwide on Thursday, February 12th! I just got a sneak peek at some of the actors, and the leads look amazing – Sinéad Keenan from Unforgotten, Caoilfhionn Dunne who was in A Thousand Blows, and Roisin Gallagher from The Dry are all starring!
The story of How to Get to Heaven from Belfast centers on three longtime friends: Saoirse, a witty and unpredictable TV writer; Robyn, a stylish mother juggling a busy life; and Dara, a reliable but reserved caregiver. They’ve been a close group since childhood.

This eight-episode show is a funny and suspenseful story about the bonds of friendship, the unreliability of memory, and navigating life when things don’t go as planned.
