The Story Behind House of Guinness
Created and written by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, SAS Rogue Heroes), House of Guinness explores the legacy of one of Europe’s most famous dynasties.
The story begins in the late 19th century, just after the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness. His will sparks rivalries and alliances among his four adult children, Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Benjamin, while also shaping the lives of the Dublin and New York communities connected to the Guinness empire.
Across eight episodes (8 x 50 mins), the series traces how power, money, and ambition collide with loyalty, betrayal, and resilience.
