Netflix Reveals House of Guinness Premiering September 25

Netflix's new period drama series, House of Guinness, created by Steven Knight, will premiere on September 25. The series explores the 19th-century story of the Guinness family following the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness, focusing on the power struggles among his four adult children—Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben—as they navigate control over the famous brewery. Filmed in Liverpool and Manchester, which doubled as 19th-century Dublin and New York, the show features a star-studded cast including Anthony Boyle, Louis Partridge, Emily Fairn, Fionn O'Shea, and James Norton. The series is described as a blend of a family saga with the intensity and scale reminiscent of Knight's previous work, Peaky Blinders, and is noted for its detailed period setting and complex character dynamics. Emily Fairn’s role as Anne Plunket marks a significant rise in her career, while James Norton plays an enigmatic character that adds intrigue to the narrative. Produced by Kudos and Nebulastar, House of Guinness aims to combine historical drama with themes of power, rebellion, and scandal within one of Europe's most enduring dynasties.
