Overview

• The eight‑episode period drama from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight debuted on Netflix on September 25, focusing on the Guinness heirs in 19th‑century Ireland.
• Knight has told interviewers he intends to continue the story for several seasons, though Netflix has not officially renewed the series.
• Set in Dublin but shot largely across northwest England and Wales, key locations include Penrhyn Castle, Liverpool’s Stanley Dock, Manchester’s Northern Quarter, Tatton Park and Broughton Hall.
• Steven Knight and executive producers said modern Dublin lacked sufficient surviving 1860s architecture, prompting the location strategy to recreate the era’s look and feel.
• Coverage highlights the show’s blend of real history and invention, with cast spotlights on Anthony Boyle, Louis Partridge, Emily Fairn and James Norton, plus on‑set anecdotes such as Boyle growing Arthur’s mustache over roughly two and a half months.
