House of Guinness: Ireland’s Dark Legacy Unveiled
From the acclaimed creator of Peaky Blinders, Steven Knight, comes the much-anticipated crime drama House of Guinness, slated to premiere on Netflix this week. Set against the turbulent backdrop of Dublin in the early 20th century, the series promises a gripping exploration of crime, legacy, and the relentless pursuit of power.
House of Guinness delves into the history and intrigue surrounding the legendary Guinness family, whose brewing empire becomes both a crown and a curse. The narrative centers around family patriarch Edward Guinness, a man torn between the preservation of his family’s legacy and the criminal underworld threatening to engulf it. As rival factions vie for control over Dublin’s lucrative black market, alliances are forged, betrayals are inevitable, and the line between business and crime blurs.
Featuring a stellar ensemble cast, the series is characterized by its atmospheric set design and sharply written dialogue, hallmarks of Knight’s style. Viewers can expect the raw intensity and complex characters that made Peaky Blinders an international hit—this time transplanted to the heart of Ireland’s brewing dynasty, where the stakes are as high and the repercussions just as deadly.
With lavish period detail and a story rooted in historical events, House of Guinness seeks to not only entertain but also to shed light on the cultural and socioeconomic forces that shaped modern Ireland. As family members wrestle with internal conflicts and external pressures, the series examines themes of loyalty, ambition, and the enduring cost of power.
House of Guinness will be available for streaming globally on Netflix, inviting audiences into a world of intrigue, danger, and the intoxicating allure of legacy.
