PEAKY Blinders director Steve Knight has announced a major new Netflix drama centred on one of Ireland’s biggest dynasties.
House of Guinness will be Knight’s next project, which centres on the epic story of one of Europe’s most famous and enduring dynasties — the Guinness family.
Set in 19th-century Dublin and New York, the story will focus on the consequences of the death of Benjamin Guinness, the man responsible for the extraordinary success of the Guinness brewery, and the far-reaching impact of his cunning will on the fate of his four adult children — Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben.
Begin
Speaking about the new drama, Knight said: “The Guinness dynasty is known the world over – wealth, poverty, power, influence and great tragedy are all intertwined to create a rich tapestry of material to draw from.
“I’ve always been fascinated by their stories and am excited to bring the characters to life for the world to see.”
Filming for the eightpart series is due to begin this summer.
Anne Mensah, VP Content for Netflix UK said: “We are beyond thrilled to be working with Kudos and the incredible Steven Knight to bring the story of the Guinness family to Netflix audiences.
“It has all the power of Peaky Blinders but the scale and the sweep of a true family saga.”
Launch
Knight’s latest project was revealed at Netflix’s star-studded slate launch in London yesterday. Hosted by Emma and Matt Willis, guests were treated to a sneak peak of what’s to come from the streaming giant. Netflix also announced it will bring Marian Keyes best selling novel Grown Ups to the screen as an ensemble family drama.
It’s based on three couples — Nell and Liam, Cara and Ed and Jessie and Rory.
Keyes said: “I screamed when I got this news! It’s thrilling that See-Saw and Netflix are bringing Grown Ups to the screen.”
