House of Guinness Adds Irish-Language Subtitles

House of Guinness is an eight-episode Netflix period drama created by Steven Knight that fictionalizes the aftermath of Sir Benjamin Guinness’s death and follows his four children as they inherit the brewery, wealth and fraught responsibilities in 1860s Dublin. The lead cast includes Anthony Boyle as Arthur, Louis Partridge as Edward, Emily Fairn as Anne and Fionn O’Shea as Ben, with supporting turns from James Norton, Danielle Galligan, Jack Gleeson and Dervla Kirwan. Creator Steven Knight and executive producer Ivana Lowell, a Guinness descendant, drew on family stories and prioritized first-choice casting to build a familial dynamic on set. The series explores inheritance, family rivalry, political and social unrest — including the legacy of the Great Famine — and the commercial pressures of turning the Guinness brewery into a global enterprise. It features Irish-language dialogue, bilingual music contributions from Kneecap and tracks from Fontaines DC, and is the first Netflix drama to offer Irish-language subtitles.
