Trailer for How To Get To Heaven From Belfast

From Derry Girls creator  Lisa McGee

Netflix has released the trailer for How To Get To Heaven From Belfast – the new series from Derry Girls creator  Lisa McGee.

The comedy-drama – out on February 12 – revolves around chaotic TV writer Saoirse,  stressed-out mother of three Robyn, and dependable, inhibited carer Dara, a tight-knit group since school.

 Now in their late 30s, they embark on a 'dark, dangerous and hilarious odyssey through Ireland and beyond' after the death of an estranged fourth member of the group, 

 Roísín Gallagher plays Saoirse, Sinéad Keenan is Robyn and Caoilfhionn Dunne plays Dara, leading a cast that includes comedians Ardal O’Hanlon and Tom Basden.

McGee has 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.’

The series, from Hat Trick Productions, comprises  eight 60-minute episodes
