Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is helming a new huge historical saga for Netflix. Called the House of Guinness, the series will follow the rise of one of Ireland’s most prolific families.
It will be set between 19th-century Dublin and New York as it examines the impact that Benjamin Guinness’ death had on the family business. He’s the man behind the success of the Guinness brewery, which was founded back in 1759. Per Netflix, the show will tackle “the far-reaching impact of his cunning 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 growing juggernaut that is Guinness”.
“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,” Knight said of the news. “I’ve always been fascinated by their stories and am excited to bring the characters to life for the world to see.”
