Netflix’s ‘House of Guinness’ Officially Renewed for Season 2

The Story

Netflix is officially bringing back its acclaimed historical drama series House of Guinness for a second season. According to Variety, the streaming giant has greenlit the next installment of the period saga, with production slated to kick off early next year.

Created and written by Peaky Blinders visionary Steven Knight, the high-stakes narrative explores the legendary brewing dynasty in 1860s Ireland. The plot details the immediate fallout and fierce family power struggles following the death of patriarch Sir Benjamin Guinness, whose vast empire is split among his four adult children. The series blends historical frameworks with fictionalized high-society tension, drawing widespread comparisons to contemporary dynastic dramas.

The premier ensemble cast is expected to return, led by Anthony Boyle, Louis Partridge, Emily Fairn, and Fionn O’Shea as the core Guinness heirs. The supporting lineup features prominent talent including James Norton, Niamh class="xot-al" data-spotlight-artist="Niamh McCormack" data-spotlight-artist-id="55410">Niamh McCormack, and Jack Gleeson. While Netflix declined to issue an official comment regarding the renewal news, production timelines indicate that cameras are scheduled to begin rolling in January 2027. Knight has previously noted his long-term ambition for the series, stating his intention to carry the multi-generational saga across four distinct seasons spanning all the way to the 1960s.
