Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders, is almost ready to raise a glass to House of Guinness. The Oscar nominee switches from the foggy streets of Birmingham, England to the back alleys and stately mansions of Dublin, along with its famous brewery, in his new drama series. House of Guinness, which premieres on September 25, transports us to the 1860s, when the violent and influential titular family is poised for greatness.

It's the remarkable tale of a family who just so happen to be the world's largest brewery's heirs. Knight tells Tudum, "They are young and are tasked with taking on this extremely successful brand." "Don't mess it up is the top priority. And the second priority is to make Guinness even bigger.”

The recently released images of the House of Guinness, below, give you your first look at this ambitious brood. As they strive to fulfill their birthright of black gold, siblings Arthur (Anthony Boyle), Edward (Louis Partridge), Anne (Emily Fairn), and Ben (Fionn O'Shea) go through both joyful highs and devastating lows in the pictures. In addition to enjoying the delicious shots, read on to discover all there is to know about House of Guinness, including its cast and creative team, as well as its plot.

What is the purpose of the House of Guinness?

The Guinness family, one of Europe's most well-known and enduring dynasties, serves as the inspiration for the epic tale explored in House of Guinness. The story, which is set in 19th-century Dublin and New York, starts right after Sir Benjamin Guinness, the man behind the Guinness brewery's extraordinary success, passes away. His will has a significant impact on the lives of his four adult children, Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben, as well as a group of Dublin characters who work and interact with the Guinness phenomenon.

Knight, the creator, is eager for viewers to get to know the "naturally wild" clan. According to him, "I'm just in awe of their zest for life — their lust for life, often literally."

House of Guinness premieres when?

According to Knight, the "heart" of the Guinness family is made up of brothers Arthur and Edward. He says, "I won't reveal the plot, but they were given joint stewardship of the brewery for very interesting reasons." Their father purposefully tied Arthur and Edward together in charge of the brewery before he passed away. When you watch, you'll understand why.

Are there any pictures of the House of Guinness available?

Get ready to dive into the drama and decadence that lie ahead. Viewers are first introduced to House of Guinness's four main siblings as well as the group of characters that surround them, including the fascinating Sean Rafferty, who is portrayed by BAFTA-nominee Norton.

"Like many of the cast, James was our first choice," Knight explains. One of the series' most remarkable features is Rafferty. His bond with the family illustrates how contemporary the narrative is in reality.
