The streets of 19th-century Dublin are about to run dark with more than just porter. Netflix’s HOUSE OF GUINNESS, premiering September 25, promises to pour out the untold story of Ireland’s most famous brewing dynasty in a potent blend of family drama, political intrigue, and blood-soaked ambition that could only come from the mind behind PEAKY BLINDERS.
Steven Knight, the mastermind who gave us the razor-wielding Shelby family and is currently crafting the next James Bond film, has turned his attention to another empire built on vice and violence. But this time, instead of Birmingham’s smoky backstreets, we’re transported to the cobblestones of Dublin and the bustling avenues of New York, where the Guinness legacy was forged in fire and foam.
The saga begins with death, as all great family dramas should. Sir Benjamin Guinness, the architect of the brewery’s extraordinary success, has breathed his last, leaving behind not just barrels of black gold but a powder keg of family tensions ready to explode. His children – Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben – suddenly find themselves thrust into a world where business is personal and loyalty is measured in pints and pounds.
James Norton steps into the role of Sean Rafferty, while the Guinness heirs come alive through Anthony Boyle, Louis Partridge, Emily Fairn, and Fionn O’Shea. The supporting cast reads like a who’s who of Irish and British talent, with Derva Kirwan, Jack Gleeson, and Niamh McCormack adding their considerable gravitas to what promises to be an ensemble piece of epic proportions.
The first trailer alone delivers everything Knight’s fans have come to expect: the reading of Benjamin Guinness’ will becomes a catalyst for chaos, with scenes of violence, gore, and romance bleeding into one another like ingredients in a deadly recipe. This isn’t just the story of how a beverage conquered the world – it’s about the cost of empire, the price of power, and the bitter aftertaste left behind when family becomes business and business becomes war.
When HOUSE OF GUINNESS arrives on September 25, viewers won’t just be watching the rise of a brewing empire – they’ll be witnessing the birth of a legend.

In ELSINORE, Andrew Scott steps into the shoes of Ian Charleson — a gay actor preparing for the role of a lifetime while quietly living with AIDS, at a time when simply being himself could have ended his career.
Scott, who came out publicly in 2013, doesn`t treat this as just another role. It`s personal. It`s full circle. And it`s a tribute to an artist who never got to tell his own story on his own terms.
"I wanted people to understand he was trying to live — it`s not about fetishizing his death."
