Netflix releases trailer and confirms release date for Lisa McGee’s new series 'How to Get to Heaven from Belfast'

The streaming service also confirmed that the eight-episode comedy-thriller series will be available to watch from February 12.

The synopsis outlines how: ‘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.”

‘Derry Girls’ creator Lisa McGee told Netflix’s ‘Tudum’ that ‘How to Get to Heaven from Belfast’ 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.”

You can watch the trailer – which features a very familiar face at the end – on Netflix’s Youtube channel, across its social media sites and on Tudum.
