Will How To Get To Heaven From Belfast Get A Season 2? Here's What We Know

With critics describing it as “hilarious” and “brilliant”, if you’ve already binged through all eight episodes of Lisa McGee’s new crime caper, How To Get To Heaven From Belfast, you’ll likely be itching for news about whether another season is on the horizon.

Created and written by the mastermind behind Derry Girls, the Netflix comedy caper follows three childhood friends as they investigate the unexpected death of the estranged member of their once tight-knit group.

In the days surrounding its debut, the show won glowing reviews from critics and made its way to the top of Netflix UK’s most-watched, meaning plenty of viewers will already have their fingers crossed in the hopes of another series.

Here’s what we know so far about the future of How To Get To Heaven From Belfast…

Will there be a How To Get To Heaven From Belfast season 2?

At the time of writing, a second season of How to Get to Heaven From Belfast has not been announced by Netflix yet.

It’s fair to say that the streaming giant has a bad habit of not renewing shows, pulling the plug on recent favourites like Kaos and Boots.

However, How To Get To Heaven From Belfast quickly ascended to the most-watched shows on Netflix’s UK chart the week of its release, which is a hopeful sign considering Lisa McGee recently admitted viewing figures will impact whether her latest TV offering gets a second series.

The series has also been a hit with critics, currently sitting with an impressive 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes – although it’s worth pointing out that glowing reviews regrettably didn’t save Kaos or Boots from getting cancelled.

What could How To Get To Heaven From Belfast be about?

While the first series mostly tied up all the loose ends about Greta’s death, explaining more about all four women’s tragic past, the eighth and last episode ended on a cliffhanger.

Saoirse, Robyn, and Dara end up left with a mysterious pink bag near a dead body, and we never find out what’s inside. 

The season finishes with Robyn declaring, “We are not, under any circumstances, getting involved in this.” 

This loose thread leaves things open for a season two, and could introduce audiences to a new mystery for our central trio to explore.

What has the creator of How To Get To Heaven From Belfast said about a potential season 2?

While a second season has yet to be confirmed, Lisa McGee has made no secret of her hopes to write more, and told Deadline that she has already started thinking about the follow-up.

“I’ve left it open for a second series but it’s all completely down to how many people watch,” she told the outlet in February 2026. “I’d love to do one.”

She also told The New York Times that she has been inspired by another crime show that ran for more than a decade.

“I really wanted to do our Murder, She Wrote kind of thing. I’ve always wanted to do that and do it kind of our way, here — and with three women who aren’t good at it,” she explained.

All eight episodes of How To Get To Heaven From Belfast are now available on Netflix.
