Netflix has released a teaser of the much-anticipated series exclusively on JOE.

Netflix has just released a clip from How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, the new comedy thriller from Derry Girls' creator Lisa McGee, exclusively on JOE.

Coming to the streaming service this week, the eight-part series follows three Northern Irish lifelong friends - Dara (Caoilfhionn Dunne, Love/Hate), Robyn (Sinéad Keenan, Unforgotten) and Saoirse (Roisin Gallagher, Lazarus) - who learn that their childhood friend, Greta (Natasha O'Keefe, Peaky Blinders), has died.

Travelling together to attend the wake, the three quickly discover that there is way more to their old friend's death than they initially thought, setting them "on a dark, dangerous and hilarious odyssey through Ireland and beyond".

This is as the trio "each tries to piece together the truth of their past".

How to Get to Heaven from Belfast is Lisa McGee's follow-up to Derry Girls. It will be directed in part by her frequent collaborator Michael Lennox, who also worked on the recent Irish hit Say Nothing.

The supporting cast of their new project includes Ardal O'Hanlon (Father Ted), Art Campion (Derry Girls), Bronagh Gallagher (The Commitments), Darragh Hand (Heartstopper), Emmett J. Scanlan (Kin), Josh Finan (Say Nothing), Michelle Fairley (Small Things Like These), Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Derry Girls), Tom Basden (The Ballad of Wallis Island) and many more notable names.

How to Get to Heaven from Belfast will land on Netflix on Thursday, 12 February.

You can check out a hilarious clip of the show, exclusively on JOE.ie's Instagram, below.

The clip gives viewers a glimpse into the character of Dara and her dysfunctional family.
