The highly-anticipated new drama whisks us back to the 1860s, where the powerful and debaucherous Guinness family is on the cusp of greatness.
The House Of Guinness story begins immediately after the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness, the man responsible for the extraordinary success of the Guinness brewery.
The tale then centres around his children, who are played by an impressive cast of young Hollywood talent.

Speaking on the launch of the show, Knight has told how brothers Arthur and Edward are the 'heart' of House of Guinness.

He said: 'I won't give away the plot — but they were given joint stewardship of the brewery for very interesting reasons.
"Before he died, their father very deliberately chained Arthur and Edward together in responsibility for the brewery. You'll find out why when you watch.
"The Guinness dynasty is known the world over – wealth, poverty, power, influence and great tragedy are all intertwined to create a rich tapestry of material to draw from,

"I've always been fascinated by their stories and am excited to bring the characters to life."
PERFECT CAST
So, it's no wonder Knight sees the Guinness family as ripe TV entertainment, as over the decades its members have been plagued by misfortune to that extent that a "black curse" is said to hover over the name.
The first teaser photos of House of Guinness have now been released, introducing viewers to its four central siblings.
In the first look images, Boyle looks noble in his black top hat and tails as he also sports a dramatic handlebar moustache.
Elsewhere, Partridge looks super smart as he pours himself a pint of the black stuff inside a lavish great hall.
