Overview

• The eight-episode series follows Arthur, Edward, Anne and Benjamin after Sir Benjamin Guinness’s death, set in 19th-century Dublin and New York.
• Knight told HELLO! at the London premiere that a second season is planned, saying, “We are,” when asked if it was happening.
• At the same screening event, Knight told Reach titles the Peaky Blinders film The Immortal Man is finished and slated for release next year.
• Reporting differs on whether James Norton’s brewery foreman Sean Rafferty is historical, with Knight quoted as saying he was real and other outlets calling the character invented.
• Norton said he worked hard to perfect a Dublin accent, and the production spotlighted Irish culture, including a soundtrack featuring Kneecap and Fontaines D.C.; members of the Guinness family attended the premiere.
