In the echo of clinking beer mugs, brothers bonding over their love as they seal the business deal at their father's funeral, Netflix's House of Guinness has hit upon that eternal elixir of power, family, and risk. Here, ambition and deception blend like barley and hops to paint the Guinness family's rocky legacy. Throughout its eight-episode inaugural season, Steven Knight's new dynasty series has discovered both international popularity and passion, inevitably drawing in Peaky Blinders nostalgia. Now, even the creator has joined in on the bandwagon.

House of Guinness does not simply show a brewery but showcases industrial magnificence, class conflict, and bloody family games. With Season 2 approaching, Knight has shared his vision for the show compared to his breakout hit.

In a Q&A after a screening of House of Guinness, its creator, Steven Knight, who is also the mastermind behind Peaky Blinders, commented on the show's direction and prospects, per Irish Mirror. He heaped praises on the show's production, calling its execution "spectacularly successful." He highlighted how the show masterfully showcases the human stakes, while commenting that the show has some unique factors that impart greatness to it, and that is why, "It's like Peaky, it's going to be huge, it's going to be great," he added.

The Irish Mirror also reported that Steven Knight was incredibly proud of the show and would be open to creating a second season. Meanwhile, a Peaky Blinders comparison added to the show's creative excellence, swagger, and the emotional beat beneath the industrial façade, the grinding sense of heritage, authority, and social disturbance. Knight hoped that the show would go on for many seasons beyond just one, already imagining a universe that grows, thickens, and grapples with more secrets.

Is Cillian Murphy in Netflix’s Latest 'Peaky Blinders'-esque, 'House of Guinness'? Here’s the Truth

At the heart of the period drama setting, House of Guinness shares its family dynasty conflict DNA with Peaky Blinders. Despite the parallels, House of Guinness brews its own story, its own flavors and textures as it celebrates anticipation for next season.

Netflix dropped House of Guinness on September 25, 2025, which traces the rebellion, power, and scandal of the Guinness brewery in 19th-century Dublin, loosely based on true stories. The show features a famed star cast with Arthur Guinness, played by Anthony Boyle; Edward Guinness, portrayed by Louis Partridge; Anne Plunket, played by Emily Fairn; Benjamin Guinness, portrayed by Fionn O’Shea; and Sean Rafferty, played by James Norton, among other intriguing characters. Its narrative unfolds against the background of political and social unrest in 19th-century Ireland, leaving a cliffhanger ending for the first season. Now the question that looms is: will Arthur Guinness survive to see the next season?

Regarding season, Steven Knight, while offering no explicit details, has indicated that the show's strong reception points to even greater character backstory and deeper excavation of Irish socio-political conflict. According to the Irish Mirror, Knight has been enthusiastic about carrying the story forward. Promising a harder, pulse-racing, and unforgettable dynasty drama much like Peaky Blinders, a second season of House of Guinness would reveal increased tension, evolving alliances, and possibly even darker secrets, though Netflix has not officially announced a second season of Knight's new hit.
