"House of Guinness: Steven Knight, the creator of gritty fare such as Peaky Blinders and Taboo, brews up an irresistible historical soap opera series a la HBO's Succession about the squabbling and scheming siblings behind one of the world's most quaffable products."
"The power struggle comes to a, ahem, head when the patriarch of the influential beer-making Guinness family dies in 19th-century Dublin, creating a sibling showdown between the eldest Arthur (Anthony Boyle), the conniving Edward (Louis Partridge of Disclaimer), the passed-over-in-the-will Anne Plunket (Emily Fairn) and the hot mess of a youngest son Benjamin (Fionn O'Shea)."
"Speaking of handsome, Jesse Williams (Grey's Anatomy) steams up the screen as Daniel De Luca, a former Marine who takes care of the mischief that goes down at a swanky hotel."
House of Guinness is a historical soap-opera series from Steven Knight that centers on a 19th-century Dublin power struggle within the Guinness brewing family. The patriarch's death sparks a sibling showdown among Arthur, Edward, Anne Plunket and Benjamin, each carrying secrets and checkered pasts that invite blackmail as arranged marriages and Fenian influence affect the company's push for American and parliamentary influence. The show features high production values, energetic pacing and racy storytelling across eight episodes, arriving Sept. 25 on Netflix. Hotel Costiera is a six-episode Prime mood quencher set in Italy, starring Jesse Williams as a former Marine who handles hotel mischief with a diverse, spy-like team.
