Netflix’s first trailer for House of Guinness arrives with all the brooding elegance of a fine stout. Set in the 19th century, it chronicles the bitter inheritance battle brewed within the Guinness dynasty after the death of Sir Benjamin. Crafted by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, the trailer gives us a glimpse of opulent Dublin interiors and tight-lipped aristocrats navigating legacy with clenched jaws.
Anthony Boyle and Louis Partridge spark tension as brothers Arthur and Edward, their strained stoicism hinting at a “Succession”-style power struggle. Emily Fairn and Fionn O’Shea deliver quiet intensity as sisters Anne and Ben, rounding out a quartet bound by blood, duty, and ambition. Behind them, James Norton, Jack Gleeson, and Dervla Kirwan haunt the edges with shifting allegiances.
With its lush cinematography, whispered conspiracies, and simmering familial discord, the trailer suggests that House of Guinness may pour a compelling blend of prestige drama and historical intrigue when it premieres September 25 on Netflix.
