The creator of Peaky Blinders, Steven Knight, is preparing to bring his new project, House of Guinness, to the screen. Now, the first set photos and promotional images from the Netflix series have been released.
Just like Peaky Blinders, House of Guinness is a historical crime drama set in 19th-century Dublin and New York. The story begins after the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness, the man who founded the Guinness beer empire. The series focuses on the impact of Benjamin Guinness’s will on his four surviving children, as well as other characters intertwined with the Guinness phenomenon.
Created and written by Steven Knight, House of Guinness is executive produced by Karen Wilson, Elinor Day, Martin Haines, Tom Shankland, and Ivana Lowell. The complete cast includes Anthony Boyle, Louis Partridge, Emily Fairn, Fionn O’Shea, Dervla Kirwan, Jack Gleeson, and Niamh McCormack.
Meanwhile, it was recently announced that Steven Knight will also be the screenwriter of the new James Bond film. Under Amazon MGM Studios, Knight is preparing to collaborate with Denis Villeneuve, and there is much anticipation about how he will craft the new Bond story.
As a lifelong James Bond fan, Steven Knight expressed his excitement about the project:
“I’m hoping that, being a Bond fan for so many years, it will be imbued into me and I will be able to produce something that’s the same but different, and better, stronger and bolder.”
