How to Get to Heaven from Belfast is set to premiere on Netflix in February 2026.

The cast will be led by Roísín Gallagher as Saoirse, Sinéad Keenan as Robyn and Caoilfhionn Dunne as Dara.

The synopsis of the show reads: “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 set them on a dark, dangerous and hilarious odyssey through Ireland and beyond as each tries to piece together the truth of the past.

“A show about friendship, memory and what happens when life doesn’t turn out quite like you’d expected.”

Netflix has also announced the full cast of characters.

“We got the gang back together — the creative team behind Derry Girls has reunited to bring you How to Get to Heaven from Belfast,” Lisa McGee said.

“This is the show I’ve always wanted to make; a mash‑up of my two favourite 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.”

We can’t wait to watch!
