\n\t\u201cHouse of Guinness<\/a>,\u201d Netflix<\/a>\u2018s boozy period drama based on the famed Irish brewing family, is coming back for another round. <\/p>\n

\n\tVariety understands that a second season of the show, created by Stephen Knight<\/a>, has now been greenlit by the streamer, with production due to kick off in early 2027. Netflix declined to comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tSet in 1860s Ireland, the first season of \u201cHouse of Guinness\u201d centred on the power-hungry heirs of the beer dynasty following the death of their patriarch, brewing mogul Sir Benjamin Guinness, as they sought to take over and expand the alcoholic empire he built. Awash in toxic sibling rivalry and violent political turmoil, the show \u2014\u00a0produced by the Banijay-owned Kudos \u2014\u00a0was instantly likened to a frothy-topped \u201cSuccession\u201d-meets-\u201cPeaky Blinders\u201d after it launched in September 2025.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe ensemble cast was led by Anthony Boyle<\/a>, Louis Partridge, Emily Fairn and Fionn O\u2019Shea as the main Guinness family, plus James Norton, Niamh McCormack, Jack Gleeson, Seamus O\u2019Hara, Michael McElhatton, David Wilmot, Dervla Kirwan, Danielle Galligan and Ann Skelly.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 8-part first season of \u201cHouse of Guinness\u201d largely proved to be a hit with critics in the U.K. and U.S., who lauded the show as a stylish, gritty and entertaining romp down the cobbled streets of 19th century Dublin (mostly shot in Liverpool and Manchester). It launched with an 89% audience approval on Rotten Tomatoes. However, it fell foul of many in Ireland, who criticized its historical inaccuracies (it billed itself as fiction inspired by a true story) and portrayal of the country\u2019s post-famine politics and the anti-colonial revolutionaries of the time. <\/p>\n

\n\tWith the first season ending on a major cliffhanger involving one of the key characters, many fans had been expecting a second to be given the go-ahead. <\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking to the Irish Mirror shortly after the show\u2019s release, Knight said he was planning to give the series a \u201cPeaky Blinders\u201d-style expansion.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are going to do season two and three and four \u2026 we are going to do this all the way to the 1960s,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, given Knight is currently busy finishing the script for the next James Bond film, it\u2019s unknown how involved he\u2019s going to be with \u201cHouse of Guinness\u201d season two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cHouse of Guinness,\u201d Netflix\u2018s boozy period drama based on the famed Irish brewing family, is coming back for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":496164,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[31264,93,15733,61,60,1868,212702,282],"class_list":["post-496163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-anthony-boyle","tag-entertainment","tag-house-of-guinness","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-netflix","tag-stephen-knight","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=496163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496163\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/496164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=496163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=496163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=496163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
