Raise your hand if every cliffhanger at the end of Netflix‘s House of Guinness left you wanting more.

The show, created by the man behind Peaky Blinders, Steven Knight, offers everything you might want from a gritty period drama: family drama, power struggles et al. Inspired by the Guinness dynasty’s rise during the 19th century (the show states it is “inspired by true stories”, but some of the narrative is of course fictional) – the show boasts a stellar cast to boot. So naturally, we want more.

The first series of the show delved into the lives of Guinness siblings Arthur, Edward, Benjamin and Anne as they with their father’s death, the legacy of the family business (the famous Guinness brewery, of course) and various personal and romantic dramas.

As Netflix’s Tudum states: “House of Guinness welcomes you to opulent — and dangerous — 1860s Dublin. At the centre of the cast is the Guinness family: Arthur (Anthony Boyle), Edward (Louis Partridge), Anne (Emily Fairn), and Ben (Fionn O’Shea), all reeling in their own way following the death of their formidable patriarch, brewing mogul Sir Benjamin Guinness.

“Inspired by real history, each of the siblings must now carry the weight and responsibility of their famous name into the future, as they seek to cement the legacy of their family. On that journey, the Guinness heirs are met by allies (like James Norton’s Sean Rafferty), enemies, complicated love interests, and more as each character fights for their own best interests as well as that of the family business.”

So… are we getting a follow-up? Here’s what you need to about season two of House of Guinness.
