Netflix has announced a brand new series, House of Guinness, based on the real-life Guinness family. Here's everything you need to know.

James Norton (Happy Valley, Playing Nice) stars as the enigmatic Sean Rafferty, while Anthony Boyle (Masters of the Air) takes on the role of Arthur Guinness, Louis Partridge (Enola Holmes) plays Edward Guinness, Emily Fairn (The Responder) is Anne Guinness (later Plunket), and Fionn O’Shea (Normal People) appears as Benjamin Guinness.

Premiering September 25, 2025, House of Guinness is the latest prestige period series from Netflix, and it promises all the rich storytelling, political tension, and scandalous family dynamics you’d expect from a series tracing the rise of one of Europe’s most powerful families. Think Succession meets Downton Abbey, but with more stout and corsets.
