House of Guinness Netflix Release Date
House of Guinness lands on Netflix worldwide on September 25, 2025. That’s a Thursday, in case anyone still keeps a paper calendar on their kitchen wall. Preparation: cancel plans, warn your groups, and get the mugs ready. There’s something about historical dramas that makes me want hot tea, even when the show’s about beer. Netflix (@netflix) announced on Twitter that House of Guinness, from the creator of Peaky Blinders, will premiere on September 25. The series stars Anthony Boyle, Louis Partridge, Emily Fairn, Fionn O’Shea, and James Norton.
Netflix dropped the release date with some real flourish, plus those first-look photos that fans were dissecting on Reddit within minutes. If, like me, you grew up believing Guinness was just that mysterious bottle in the back of your uncle’s fridge, expect to have your mind blown. The show promises epic family drama, deep historical intrigue, and more 19th-century power maneuvers than you can shake a silk top hat at.
House of Guinness Cast
The cast is honestly ridiculous in a good way. Anthony Boyle is playing Arthur Guinness (who, I’ll admit, I keep picturing in a tweed blazer with a suspiciously perfect jawline). Louis Partridge is Edward Guinness, which immediately gives the family squabbles some frantic Enola Holmes energy. Emily Fairn steps in as Anne Plunket (née Guinness), and Fionn O’Shea brings that “Normal People” soft chaos to Benjamin Guinness.
Here’s the kind of cast line-up you’d pass around in your group chat:
-
Anthony Boyle (Arthur Guinness)
-
Louis Partridge (Edward Guinness)
-
Emily Fairn (Anne Plunket)
-
Fionn O'Shea (Benjamin Guinness)
-
James Norton (Sean Rafferty) tries his best Irish accent and reportedly has a blast.
-
Dervla Kirwan (Aunt Agnes Guinness)
-
Jack Gleeson (Byron Hedges), yes, Joffrey from Game of Thrones, so let’s see if he gets poisoned again.
-
Niamh McCormack (Ellen Cochrane)
-
Danielle Galligan (Lady Olivia Hedges)
-
Seamus O’Hara (Patrick Cochrane)
-
Ann Skelly (Adelaide Guinness)
-
Michael McElhatton (John Potter)
-
David Wilmot (Bonnie Champion)
Michael Colgan, Jessica Reynolds, Hilda Fay, Elizabeth Dulau. A roll call of everyone you’ve ever spotted in a prestige drama and thought, “Wow, they’re good!”
James Norton (Sean Rafferty) joked that mastering the Dublin accent was harder than learning a Shakespeare sonnet, a nice detail, if you’re sentimental about actors suffering for their craft. Family drama, period costumes, and cast members who can do tortured looks in candlelight: we’re getting spoiled.
House of Guinness Streaming Platforms
The answer is as straightforward as it gets: only on Netflix. You won’t find it on cable, BBC, Amazon Prime, or lurking behind a paywall on some niche streaming site. If your Netflix subscription is feeling a little wasted lately, House of Guinness is about to justify the expense. DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) shared on Twitter the first look at House of Guinness, a new Netflix series from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight. The show, releasing September 25, follows the Guinness family after the death of brewery head Benjamin Guinness.
The entire first season, all eight episodes, drops at once. I do love a binge; last December, I watched half a Victorian drama standing up in the kitchen and burned my toast twice. No waiting week by week for cliffhangers to resolve, just pure immersion in brewing empires and the kind of family feuds that make Monopoly night seem quaint.
