Derry Girls Creator Lisa McGee Unveils New Netflix Comedy-Thriller

Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee is behind a new Netflix series titled 'How to Get to Heaven From Belfast', which has begun production. The show is described as a 'dark, dangerous and hilarious odyssey' through Northern Ireland.

The series stars Roisin Gallagher, Sinead Keenan, and Caoilfhionn Dunne as childhood friends Saoirse, Robyn, and Dara. Now in their late thirties, the trio are reunited after the death of another friend from their youth.

McGee expressed her excitement in a statement to Variety, saying: 'I couldn't be more excited to start production on How To Get To Heaven From Belfast. I've loved writing Saoirse, Robyn and Dara - three flawed, funny women who are about to embark on the most thrilling and terrifying adventure of their lives.'

Her previous show, Derry Girls, followed teenagers during the Troubles and won two BAFTAs and an Emmy. However, star Nicola Coughlan has ruled out a fourth season, saying she wouldn't want to 'taint' its legacy.
