“House of Guinness will tell the epic story of one of Europe's most famous and enduring dynasties: the Guinness family. Set in Dublin and New York in the 19th century, the story will focus on the aftermath of the death of Benjamin Guinness, the man responsible for the extraordinary success of the Guinness Brewery, and the far-reaching impact his cunning will had on fate. of his four adult children, Arthur, Edward, Anne and Ben, as well as a cast of Dublin characters who work and interact with the growing juggernaut that is Guinness.”

“We are beyond excited to work with Kudos (TV production company) and the incredible Steven Knight to bring the story of the Guinness family to Netflix audiences.

The producer Karen Wilson spoke about the story and adaptation:
“The House of Guinness is full of mystery, intrigue and drama, and we are absolutely thrilled to bring it to Netflix audiences around the world. This epic and compelling story about one of the world's greatest dynasties will captivate audiences, and I can think of no one better to bring it to life than the brilliant Steven Knight.“
