HOUSE OF GUINNESS trailer released

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.

HOUSE OF GUINNESS prems Sep 25

HOUSE OF GUINNESS prems Sep 25

The foggy streets of Birmingham are behind us now. Steven Knight, the mastermind who gave us PEAKY BLINDERS, is trading razor-blade caps and cigarette smoke for something far more intoxicating: the dark, frothy legacy of Ireland’s most notorious brewing dynasty. When HOUSE OF GUINNESS premieres on Netflix this September 25, audiences won’t just be witnessing another lavish period drama about wealth and power—they’ll be diving headfirst into the shocking true story of a family whose scandals, betrayals, and generational secrets have somehow managed to stay buried beneath centuries of perfectly poured pints.

This is the story that Ireland never wanted told, the one that transforms your casual pub visit into something far more sinister. Set against the backdrop of 1860s Dublin and New York, the eight-part series zeroes in on one of the most explosive moments in brewing history: the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness in 1868 and the catastrophic aftermath of his will reading. Benjamin wasn’t just another wealthy industrialist—he was the grandson of Arthur Guinness himself, the visionary who famously signed that audacious 9,000-year lease on St. James’s Gate Brewery in 1759, essentially betting on eternity. Under Benjamin’s iron grip, the family business had evolved from a local Dublin operation into a global empire, their signature black stout flowing through the veins of the British Empire and beyond.

But empires built on liquid gold are particularly vulnerable to family poison, and Benjamin’s death ignited a feud that would make the Peaky Blinders look like choirboys. The series follows his four adult children—Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben—as they navigate the treacherous waters of inheritance, ambition, and sibling rivalry. Anthony Boyle, Louis Partridge, Emily Fairn, and Fionn O’Shea embody these young heirs who suddenly find themselves custodians of “black gold,” facing the terrifying prospect of either expanding their grandfather’s legacy or watching it crumble under the weight of their own desires.

Knight describes his fascination with this “naturally wild” clan, particularly their “zest for life—their lust for life, often literally.” It’s this raw, unapologetic appetite that drives the narrative, transforming what could have been a dry historical chronicle into something visceral and immediate. The recently released photos reveal siblings caught between ecstatic highs and heartbreaking lows, their faces reflecting the intoxicating burden of being born into greatness while simultaneously being capable of destroying it.

What makes HOUSE OF GUINNESS particularly compelling is how it illuminates the human cost of building an empire. These aren’t just wealthy heirs playing with their inheritance—they’re young people grappling with impossible expectations, their every decision capable of toppling a dynasty that took generations to build. Knight’s genius lies in recognizing that the most interesting stories aren’t about the creation of empires, but about their potential destruction from within.

The series promises to explore not just the family dynamics, but the broader ecosystem that sustained the Guinness phenomenon—the workers, the politicians, the hangers-on, and the countless Dublin characters whose lives became intertwined with the brewery’s success. This is Ireland during a period of massive transformation, when old ways were dying and new opportunities were emerging for those bold enough or ruthless enough to seize them.

For Knight, who earned an Oscar nomination for his previous work, this represents a natural evolution from the grimy streets of post-war Birmingham to the equally complex but more opulent world of Victorian Dublin. The themes remain consistent—family loyalty, the corruption of power, the price of ambition—but the stakes feel even higher when your family name is literally synonymous with Ireland itself.

HOUSE OF GUINNESS arrives at a moment when audiences are hungry for stories that blend historical authenticity with contemporary relevance. This isn’t just about understanding how a brewery became a global brand; it’s about examining how families navigate the impossible pressure of living up to legendary legacies while dealing with very human flaws and desires. The Guinness name may be on every pub wall across the world, but the family behind it has remained mysteriously private—until now.

Andrew Scott in BACK IN ACTION

Fresh off his acclaimed performance as Tom Ripley in Netflix’s psychological thriller RIPLEY, Andrew Scott continues his streaming success with the upcoming action-comedy BACK IN ACTION, set to premiere on Netflix on January 17, 2025.

Scott’s recent filmography showcases his remarkable range. In 2023, he received widespread praise for his transformative lead role in Andrew Haigh’s ghost story ALL OF US STRANGERS, where he starred opposite Paul Mescal. His emotionally charged performance in RIPLEY (2024) further solidified his status as one of today’s most versatile actors, following his earlier successes in CATHERINE CALLED BIRDY (2022) and the war drama 1917 (2019).

In BACK IN ACTION, Scott joins Hollywood veterans Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx in what marks Diaz’s first film role since 2014’s ANNIE. The plot centers around a seemingly ordinary couple (Diaz and Foxx) whose quiet suburban life masks their former careers as elite secret agents. When their past catches up with them, they’re thrust back into the high-stakes world of international espionage.

This action-packed comeback vehicle for Diaz represents another significant addition to Scott’s increasingly diverse portfolio, bridging his acclaimed dramatic work with more commercial fare. 

Watch BACK IN ACTION on Netflix.
