Netflix Orders Second Season of 'House of Guinness'

Netflix has given the green light to a second season of House of Guinness, the historical drama centered on one of Europe's most storied dynasties.

The streaming giant's renewal announcement came on Friday, June 12, via Variety. The series draws inspiration from the real-life saga of the Guinness family and their brewing empire.

Set against the backdrop of 1860s Ireland, the first season followed ambitious heirs to the beer fortune as they maneuvered for control following the death of patriarch Sir Benjamin Guinness, the influential brewing magnate who established the industrial powerhouse they inherited.

The ensemble cast features Anthony Boyle, Louis Partridge, James Norton, Fionn O'Shea, and Emily Fairn.

Creator Stephen Knight outlined an ambitious long-term vision for the project in an interview with Irish Mirror shortly after season one premiered in September 2025. He compared his plans to the expansive approach used on his previous series, indicating the show would span multiple decades.

"We are going to do season two and three and four … we are going to do this all the way to the 1960s," Knight said at the time.

Production on the second season is slated to commence in early 2027.
