- The show follows a family’s power struggle for their brewery empire
From acclaimed creator Steven Knight, the mind behind Peaky Blinders, comes the new Netflix drama series, House of Guinness. The show, which premieres on September 25, is a historical period piece that dives into the complex and often turbulent world of one of Europe’s most famous dynasties.
The series is set in 1860s Dublin and New York and begins in the immediate aftermath of the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness, the man responsible for the extraordinary success of the Guinness brewery. His will leaves behind a legacy that binds his four adult children—Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben—into a power struggle for control of the family empire. The series will explore how this inheritance, and the secrets behind it, impacts not only the family but also the workers and associates whose lives are tied to the brewery.
The show’s star-studded cast is led by Anthony Boyle as Arthur Guinness and Louis Partridge as Edward Guinness. They are joined by a talented ensemble that includes James Norton, Emily Fairn, and Fionn O’Shea. This blend of acting talent, a rich historical narrative, and Knight’s signature storytelling style has drawn comparisons to Succession and is poised to be Netflix’s next big hit. The series consists of eight episodes, all available on launch day.
