Netflix recently unveiled the initial teaser for the upcoming series titled “House of Guinness.” This anticipated period drama promises to deliver an engaging mix of power, scandal, and excess.

As shown in the trailer, the Guinness siblings, four of them, attend their father’s funeral followed by hearing his will reading. In this will, they learn that Arthur and Edward are entrusted with managing the brewery. Later on, it seems there might be turmoil as a protest erupts.

Regarding the upcoming series airing on Netflix on the 25th of September, Knight commented: “This is an exceptional tale about a family who just so happen to own the largest brewery globally.

The new, inexperienced team has been assigned the responsibility of managing this extremely successful company. Their primary objective is to avoid any mistakes, and their secondary goal is to further expand the Guinness brand.

Actor Norton takes on the role of the enigmatic Sean Rafferty, a character that Knight refers to as extraordinary, in Happy Valley.

Originally, James was our preferred pick among many in the cast, as stated by Knight. Rafferty’s portrayal stands out as one of the most remarkable elements in this series, illustrating the contemporary nature of the story through his connection with the family.

In addition to the cast are Dervla Kirwan from “True Detective: Night Country,” Jack Gleeson known for his role in “Game of Thrones,” Niamh McCormack who starred in “Everything Now,” Danielle Galligan from “Obituary,” and Ann Skelly, a cast member of “The Sandman.”

Joining the cast are Dervla Kirwan, who appeared on “True Detective: Night Country”; Jack Gleeson, famous for his role in “Game of Thrones”; Niamh McCormack from “Everything Now”; Danielle Galligan, star of “Obituary”; and Ann Skelly, featured in “The Sandman.”

Both versions convey the same information in a natural and easy-to-read manner.

In addition, Knight referred to the bond between brothers Arthur and Edward as the core or central aspect of the House of Guinness.

In Knight’s words, “I won’t spoil it for you, but they were appointed co-managers of the brewery due to some fascinating circumstances.” Before his passing, their father cleverly bound Arthur and Edward together in the responsibility of managing the brewery. The reasons will become clear once you watch.

House of Guinness will arrive to Netflix on 25 September.
