House of Guinness: when is Netflix show out and what to expect? First look at Steven Knight series

• Peaky Blinders creator is heading to Netflix for a new show.
• Steven Knight’s latest series is about the Guinness family.
• But when can you expect the episodes to drop?

Netflix has teamed up with the man behind Peaky Blinders for a huge new show. House of Guinness will tell the story of the family behind the iconic stout.

Since the end of Tommy Shelby’s story, at least for now, creator Steven Knight has not rested on his laurels. Already this year he launched A Thousand Blows on Disney Plus with Stephen Graham.

It was recently announced that he is set to write the new James Bond film, which will be directed by Dune’s Denis Villeneuve. His follow-up to Peaky Blinders is expected to release next year and is currently titled ‘The Immortal Man;.

He is returning to the well for another historical epic this autumn. Here’s all you need to know:

What is House of Guinness about?

Netflix has offered a first look at its next big historical epic to start this week. Created by Steven Knight, House of Guinness is about the Guinness family.

The brief synopsis from the streamer reads: “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.”

Who is in the cast of House of Guinness?

The show is set to feature plenty of recognisable faces when it lands on streaming later this year. Former Game of Thrones star Jack Gleeson has returned to acting and is part of the cast.

One-time favourite to be the next James Bond, James Norton is also set to appear in the show. Viewers will remember him from Happy Valley as well as ITV’s Playing Nice from earlier in the year.
