‘House of Guinness’: See James Norton, Anthony Boyle & More in Netflix’s Irish Drama

The history of the Guinness family and their famous beer will be dramatized in Netflix‘s upcoming series House of Guinness, and the streamer has revealed the first photos from the series and its premiere date.

From the creator of Peaky Blinders, the series stars Anthony Boyle, Jack Gleeson, and James Norton. Here’s a breakdown of all the latest news about the limited series.

What isHouse of Guinness about?

House of Guinness doesn’t depict how the Guinness name came to be globally known, but rather the aftermath of the death of the brewery’s founder.

The eight-episode series focuses on “the Guinness family, a European dynasty made famous by the drink they brew,” according to the official synopsis. “Set in 19th-century Dublin and New York, the story reimagines the period immediately after the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness, the man responsible for the extraordinary success of the Guinness brewery, and the far-reaching impact of his will on the fate of his four adult children, Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben, as well as on a group of Dublin characters who work and interact with the phenomenon that is Guinness.”

Peaky BlindersSteven Knight writes and executive produces the series. He said in a statement when the series was announced earlier this year, “The Guinness dynasty is known the world over — wealth, poverty, power, influence, and great tragedy are all intertwined to create a rich tapestry of material to draw from. I’ve always been fascinated by their stories and am excited to bring the characters to life for the world to see.”
