House of Guinness
Where to Watch: Netflix
House of Guinness explores an epic story inspired by one of Europe’s most famous and enduring dynasties — the Guinness family. Set in 19th-century Dublin and New York, the story begins 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.
Creator Knight is excited for audiences to meet the “naturally wild” clan. “I’m just in awe of their zest for life — their lust for life, often literally,” he says.
