"House of Guinness" is Netflix's latest hit show. While it may have been beaten to the No. 1 spot by fellow new arrival, "Wayward." this new family drama from "Peaky Blinders" creator Steven Knight has nevertheless broken into the streaming service's charts since it premiered on Thursday, September 25.
As the title suggests, this 19th-century-set drama revolves around the heirs to the Guinness family fortune. Following the death of their patriarch, Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness, his brewery business is left to his four children, Arthur (Anthony Boyle), Edward (Louis Partridge), Anne (Emily Fairn), and Benjamin (Fionn O'Shea). What follows is a drama wherein each is left to navigate this high-stakes world of allies and enemies, complicated love interests, and more, fighting both for the business and their own best interests.
