Netflix has just released the first trailer for How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, the new comedy thriller from Derry Girls' creator Lisa McGee.
Travelling together to attend the wake, the three quickly discover 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 the 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.
How to Get to Heaven from Belfast will land on Netflix on 12 February 2026.
