20 Most Anticipated TV Shows Of 2026
17. How to Get to Heaven from Belfast
How to Get to Heaven from Belfast release date: February 2026
How to Get to Heaven from Belfast is the new series from Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee - an eight-episode comedy-thriller romp in which three friends (Roisin Gallagher, Sinéad Keenan, and Caoilfhionn Dunne) investigate the mysterious death of the fourth member of their childhood gang.
What follows is reportedly a darkly comedic odyssey across Ireland and beyond, and if it retains even a sliver of Derry Girls' panache, it's sure to be one of the year's most talked about shows.
All eight episodes will be directed by Michael Lennox, who previously helmed all 19 episodes of Derry Girls, ensuring that between him and McGee expectations are understandably high for another banger series from the pair.
Beyond the central trio, the mostly-Irish cast also includes Jeanne Ní Áinle, Emmett J. Scanlan, Tom Basden, Ardal O'Hanlon, Michelle Fairley, Josh Finan, Bronagh Gallagher, Darragh Hand, and Natasha O'Keeffe.
