- Penrhyn Castle in Bangor doubles for the family’s Ashford Castle, with brewery sequences staged around Liverpool’s Stanley Dock and additional shoots at sites including St Philips Church in Salford, Tatton Park, Broughton Hall, the National Waterways Museum, and Little Underbank in Stockport.
- Manchester’s Northern Quarter provided the backdrop for scenes set in New York, with Jack Gleeson describing a multi‑day chase shoot that transformed the streets with period set dressing.
- The eight‑episode drama from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight premiered on Netflix on Sept. 25 and follows the Guinness siblings after Sir Benjamin Guinness’s death in 19th‑century Dublin and New York.
- Anthony Boyle, who plays Arthur Guinness, said he grew his character’s moustache over roughly two and a half months and joked that it drew puzzled looks off set, while Knight publicly voiced ambitions to continue the saga for multiple seasons.
