Netflix’s “House of Guinness” Poised to Become Epic Historical Saga!

Last September, a new historical drama made its debut on Netflix. The name? House of Guinness. Directed by Steven Knight, who is also behind the hugely successful Peaky Blinders (and indeed, there are some similarities between the two series), this show set in 1868 highlights the story of an Irish brewery on its journey to conquer the world. Rated 3.8 out of 5 by viewers, House of Guinness has already garnered its own fan base, and the latest news is sure to please many…

It’s Official, House of Guinness is Coming Back for Season 2

Great news for fans of this Netflix series based on a true story—Season 2 is confirmed! For now, details about the continuation of the saga involving the four adult children of Sir Benjamin Guinness—Arthur (Anthony Boyle), Edward (Louis Partridge), Anne (Emily Fairn), and Ben (Fionn O’Shea)—remain sparse, but we know that filming is set to begin early next year, in January 2027.

Another piece of good news is that the excitement for House of Guinness is not likely to wane, as Steven Knight, the director, has revealed he envisions at least four seasons for the series. Similar to Peaky Blinders, the plot might include some flash-forwards with the aim of concluding the series a century later, around the 1960s.

Key Takeaways from Season 1

To recap, in the final episode of season 1, a gunshot rings out, but it’s unclear who the target is. Viewers are left wondering: Will Arthur, who is about to deliver a significant speech before the elections, survive the assassination attempt by Paddy Cochrane (portrayed on screen by Seamus O’Hara)? This suspense will be resolved at the start of season 2. So, let’s arm ourselves with patience…

Season 1 of House of Guinness is currently available on Netflix.
