"From the creator of Peaky Blinders, Netflix's next big swing into historical drama already looked primed to capture audiences hungry for intrigue. Steven Knight returned with House of Guinness, a period series set in 19th-century Dublin that promised a gripping mix of ambition, betrayal, and family politics. With its first official trailer dropping ahead of the September 25, 2025 premiere, the series drew immediate comparisons to Peaky Blinders - and not without reason."
"The story opened with the funeral of Sir Benjamin Guinness, the patriarch who transformed the family brewery into an international powerhouse. His passing left behind more than grief: it left behind a carefully engineered vacuum of power. In his will, Sir Benjamin decreed that his sons Arthur and Edward must share control of the business, a decision that quickly set the stage for chaos."
"Steven Knight's fingerprints were all over the footage. Just as he did with Peaky Blinders, Knight layered the series with period-specific authenticity: lavish sets, richly textured costumes, and a brooding atmosphere that mirrored the stakes of the story. Yet there was also a sleek modern rhythm beneath the 19th-century veneer, the kind of stylistic tension that had become Knight's calling card."
