House of Guinness Premieres Sept. 25: Now Revealed!
UPDATE: The highly anticipated drama series House of Guinness, created by Steven Knight of Peaky Blinders fame, is set to premiere on September 25, 2023. This gripping new show transports viewers to the vibrant streets of Dublin in the 1860s, diving deep into the tumultuous world of the Guinness family and their legendary brewery.
In this dramatic reimagining, audiences will witness the rise of the Guinness dynasty as they grapple with the immense pressure of carrying on their family’s legacy. Knight describes the series as “the extraordinary story of a family who happens to be the inheritors of the biggest brewery in the world.” The stakes are high as this young family must navigate their newfound responsibilities amidst the intoxicating highs and devastating lows of life.
The show stars Anthony Boyle as Arthur Guinness and Louis Partridge as Edward Guinness, both central figures in this saga of ambition and legacy. “Before he died, their father very deliberately chained Arthur and Edward together in responsibility for the brewery,” Knight reveals, hinting at the complex dynamics at play.
The ensemble cast also includes acclaimed actor James Norton, who plays Sean Rafferty, a pivotal character whose relationship with the family adds depth to the narrative. Knight expresses his excitement, stating, “James was our first choice… Rafferty is one of the most extraordinary aspects of this series.”
Prepare for a visual feast as the first photos have been released, showcasing the opulence and drama expected in House of Guinness. Viewers will meet not just the central siblings—Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben—but also a rich array of supporting characters, including the determined Ellen Cochrane and the seductive Lady Olivia Hedges.
The series consists of eight episodes, all set to launch simultaneously, making it a binge-worthy experience not to be missed. Knight, who serves as both writer and executive producer, aims to deliver a story that is both historically rich and profoundly engaging, stating, “I’m just in awe of their zest for life — their lust for life, often literally.”
With the premiere just around the corner, audiences are buzzing with anticipation. House of Guinness promises to capture the essence of one of Europe’s most famous dynasties, offering a blend of history, drama, and family intrigue.
