Overview
- The principal cast includes Anthony Boyle as Arthur, Louis Partridge as Edward, Emily Fairn as Anne and Fionn O'Shea as Ben with James Norton and a largely Irish supporting ensemble.
- The eight-part series was shot in blocks directed by Tom Shankland and Mounia Akl and is produced by Kudos and Nebulastar with multiple executive producers attached.
- Set in 19th-century Dublin and New York, the narrative begins after Sir Benjamin Guinness’s death and examines how his will reshapes the family and the brewery's future.
- Creator Steven Knight has said the drama centers on the deliberate joint stewardship of the brewery between brothers Arthur and Edward, which serves as the emotional engine of the story.
- All eight episodes will be available at launch on Netflix worldwide and the show’s release has been framed by Knight’s Peaky Blinders pedigree and his recent assignment to write the next James Bond screenplay.
