Friendship has a way of surviving everything: time, distance, betrayal, and even silence. But when the past comes calling, it rarely arrives gently. That emotional tension is exactly what makes How To Get To Heaven From Belfast one of Netflix’s most intriguing upcoming series. Yet even the most gripping story means little without the right people to bring it to life. Dark comedy thrives on timing, thrillers demand intensity, and character-driven drama needs actors who can communicate as much through expression as dialogue.

With a carefully selected ensemble, How To Get To Heaven From Belfast is shaping up to deliver a cast powerful enough to make every moment feel sharp, unpredictable, and unforgettable.

At the center of How to Get to Heaven From Belfast are Roísín Gallagher as Saoirse, Sinéad Keenan as Robyn, and Caoilfhionn Dunne as Dara, forming the core trio around whom the story unfolds. Each actress brings a distinct screen presence, making the dynamic between the three feel layered, personal, and emotionally charged.

Backing them is a strong supporting lineup that adds depth to the world of the show. Saoirse-Monica Jackson also joins the cast in an undisclosed role, while Emmett J. Scanlan plays Owen, Tom Basden appears as Seb, and Ardal O’Hanlon takes on the role of Séamus.

The ensemble further includes Michelle Fairley as Margo, Josh Finan as Jason, Bronagh Gallagher as Booker, Darragh Hand as Liam, and Natasha O’Keeffe as Greta, rounding out a cast filled with familiar faces from acclaimed TV dramas and fan-favorite franchises.
