Netflix has dropped a new trailer for House of Guinness, a 19th century family feud, from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight. Check out the trailer above and read the essentials.
story
Dublin and New York, 1868: Guinness heirs discover that the real wake begins when the will is read. Arthur (Anthony Boyle) and Edward (Louis Partridge) are given the future of the brewery. Brothers Anne (Emily Fian) and Ben (Fion O’Shea) are cut out. As a result, there is a hornet nest of loyalty, responsiveness, and power play in a dynasty in which the rubber rings and dynasties of the Irish rebellion learn the cost of their own name.
Knight’s angle
“Here the deceased father decides the fate of his child. The will determine the trajectory of each of those siblings. What is a better place to start the drama than that?” Knight tells the Netflix site Tudum. “They all receive whatever they receive. No one is happy.”
He is also upfront about that interest. “The decisions these characters make on personal issues will have consequences for Ireland’s future, which is a significant burden.”
And he says, “We don’t have Facebook or Instagram pages.” He says.
Cast and creative

The ensemble also spans Darbra Kilwan, Jack Gleeson, Niam McCormack, Daniel Garrigan, Anne Skelly, Sheamus O’Hara, Michael McElhutton, David Wilmott, Michael Colgan, Jessica Reynolds, Hilda Faye and Elizabeth Durau.
