Netflix “House of Guinness,” Netflix‘s boozy period drama based on the famed Irish brewing family, is coming back for another round.
Variety understands that a second season of the show, created by Stephen Knight, has now been greenlit by the streamer, with production due to kick off in early 2027. Netflix declined to comment.
Set in 1860s Ireland, the first season of “House of Guinness” centred on the power-hungry heirs of the beer dynasty following the death of their patriarch, brewing mogul Sir Benjamin Guinness, as they sought to take over and expand the alcoholic empire he built. Awash in toxic sibling rivalry and violent political turmoil, the show — produced by the Banijay-owned Kudos — was instantly likened to a frothy-topped “Succession”-meets-“Peaky Blinders” after it launched in September 2025.
