It promises to tell the tale of Ireland's Guinness dynasty.
'The head of the Guinness brewery is dead, now his children must navigate power, rebellion and scandal…or risk losing it all,' Netflix said as it shared images from the new series this week.
Set in 19th-century Dublin and New York, the series is set to focus on the consequences of the death of Benjamin Guinness, the man responsible for the extraordinary success of the Guinness brewery.
It will also depict the 'far-reaching impact of his cunning will on the fate of his four adult children, Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben' Netflix says, while focusing on 'a group of Dublin characters who work and interact with the growing juggernaut that is Guinness'.
The show is based on the Irish Guinness dynasty
Commenting on the series, Knight said: '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 for the world to see.'
The eight-part series is scheduled to air next month, with Tom Shankland directing the first five episodes and Mounia Akl directing the final three.
'We are beyond thrilled to be working with Kudos and the incredible Steven Knight to bring the story of the Guinness Family to Netflix audiences,' Anne Mensah, Vice-President Content at Netflix UK and Ireland, said.
House of Guinness will stream on Netflix from September 25.

Vanderpump Rules spin off relocates from Italy to VERY unexpected town in the UK
It's definitely going to be a change of scenery SCENERY SWITCH-UP Vanderpump Rules spin off relocates from Italy to VERY unexpected town in the UK Real Housewives of Beverly Hills legend Lisa Vanderpump's spin-off show, Vanderpump Villa, is set for a huge shake-up for its upcoming third series - relocating from the stunning castle in Italy to a farmhouse in the far less glamorous climes of Milton Keynes. In a move that will see fans scratching their heads, the show - which airs on Hulu in the US and Disney + globally - has ditched the fancy European settings of the previous two seasons for an altogether more down-to-earth base. 4 The super-glam Vanderpump Rules spin off is relocating from Italy to Milton Keynes Credit: Hulu 4 The show used to be set in this stunning Italian castle Credit: Hulu A telly insider said: "Bosses have settled on a location house in Newport Pagnell to film the next run. It's rural and will probably look impressive to US viewers who will just see the English countryside and think it's romantic, but anyone from Britain knows Newton Pagnell is a stone's throw from Milton Keynes' city centre - a place that couldn't be less showbizzy if it tried. It's a man-made commuter city at the end of the day. "Obviously Lisa Vanderpump is British, so you can understand why the showrunners wanted a Lady of the Manor type vibe for the upcoming episodes, but you would imagine they would have plumped for a mansion in the Cotswolds, or an old English castle in Kent." The first series of Vanderpump Villa was filmed at a French chauteau and aired last year. The second series relocated to Umbria and has been shot but is yet to air. Read more Vanderpump Villa TELLY TREATS Best new TV next week - from Netflix's Scoop to Disney+'s Vanderpump Villa The premise of the first series of show saw Lisa, who already has the successful spin-off Vanderpump Rules under her belt, overseeing a group of wild staff members at her French estate. Lisa and her husband Ken, who also appeared on RHOBH, made their money owning various restaurants and clubs in London, before decamping to LA where they opened eateries and bars such as SUR and Villa Blanca. Lisa Vanderpump 'pushed out' of Vanderpump Rules as producers attempt to 'minimize' her involvement with filming Lisa then shot to fame as part of the original cast of Beverly Hills housewives, and enjoyed success as the show's breakout star from 2010 to 2019, but left the show after a series of on-camera spats with the other wives. The Sun has approached a rep for the show for comment. 4 Will "first class luxury" still remain the air of the show over in Milton Keynes? Credit: Hulu

Barry Keoghan debuts Ringo Starr look ahead of Beatles biopic shoot
Barry Keoghan is a man in demand in Hollywood, and was recently cast as Ringo Starr for an upcoming four-part Beatles biopic from Sam Mendes. He joins fellow Irish actor Paul Mescal in the lineup, who will be playing Paul McCartney, as well as Harris Dickinson as John Lennon and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison. While the foursome had been announced during cinemacon, Barry recently took part in a GOAT TALK interview with Ed Sheeran for Complex, where the pair discussed the musician's obsession with movie props, but we couldn't help but admire Keoghan's new look. Barry Keoghan with his Ringo Starr hair Pic: Complex The 32-year-old is sporting longer locks in the video, and is looking more like the drummer. Considering production was rumoured to have started in July of this year, the timing lines up with this new hairdo being for the film. Barry even joked that he had some drumsticks with him and if Ed wanted to buy them he could, so he's staying on top of his drum-practice. Barry Keoghan with his Ringo Starr hair Pic: Complex The duo's conversation was rather enlightening, with Sheeran revealing that he buys a new movie prop every year for his birthday. Some of his favourites are Robin Williams' Peter Pan costume from Hook, as well as Rufio's sword, and he also mentioned that his most expensive purchases was one of the C3P0s from Star Wars, but wouldn't reveal how much he spent on it. As for the Beatles biopics, Mendes confirmed that the four films will be released in April 2028, and each member of the band will be the subject of their own solo film, telling the story of the legendary band from each point of view. Ed Sheeran in conversation with Barry Keoghan Pic: Complex The official title for the project is The Beatles – A Four Film Cinematic Event, with the director describing it as the 'first binge-able theatrical experience'. As for Keoghan's part in the project, he recently admitted that he 'froze' coming face to face with Ringo, telling Jimmy Kimmel: 'I met Ringo the other day. I met him at his house and he played the drums for me. He asked me to play them, but I wasn't playing the drums for Ringo. 'It was one of those moments when you're just in awe and [I] just froze.' Joseph Quinn, Barry Keoghan, Harris Dickinson and Paul Mescal at CinemaCon 2025 Pic: Eric Charbonneau/Sony Pictures via Getty Images Barry went on to note that despite paying a visit to study the musician's mannerisms, he was unable to look at him. 'I was nervous,' Barry told Jimmy, 'He was like, 'You can look at me,' and it was just, again, I'm playing Ringo Starr. My job is to observe and take in all kind of mannerisms and, you know, studying [him].'

Styled By Niamh: Social media sensation Sian Walton on her not-so Simple Life
As a child, Irish social media star Sian Walton had a very different career in mind for herself – and became an influencer almost by accident. 'I am very much a big animal lover so I wanted to be a vet, but as I got older I hadn't a clue. 'I knew there was something out there for me, though influencing just wasn't a thing at the time,' Sian told Styled. Boohoo Chiffon Satin V Neck Maxi Dress – €29.00 Boohoo Suede tassel jacket €47.00 Boohoo Wide Fit Western Style Harness Detail Knee High Boots €34.00 Newbridge Silverware Dew Drop Oval Pendant with Mulberry Stone €50.00 She said inspiration first struck when she found herself adrift after leaving school. 'It was over 10 years ago. I was only 18 and had just left school, I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. All my friends were in college, and I did a personal training course. 'I started sharing all my workouts, food and anything fitness related. A lot of gym selfies,' she laughed. Sian grew up in the north Dublin countryside but went to school in Loreto on the Green in the heart of the city centre. 'It was a journey every day, but I absolutely loved being in the city – especially growing up in the middle of nowhere basically. It was exciting and different.' Boohoo Morgan Wallen License Cowgirls Printed Oversized T-Shirt €15.20 V by VeryFringe Midi Skirt – Brown€45 Very COACH . Horse & Carriage Enamel Hinged Bangle Bracelet – Gold €125 But she confided, she didn't have many friends at school and ended up losing the few she had because of her hugely popular Instagram and Youtube accounts. 'It was seen as 'embarrassing' at the time. So that really pushed me, and I devoted all my time to posting online. 'I would post every single day. 'After 10 years I've definitely grown a thick skin. I used to be very shy and sensitive, and I've changed a lot by putting myself out there,' she admitted. 'There have been times in the past where I have been upset over comments. Although it's not OK, I do think if you are getting negative comments – it just means you're doing something right!' Hollister Low-Rise Medium Wash Shortie Shorts € 45,95 Savida Maddie Rib Trim T-Shirt €12 However, she says YouTube is worse than Instagram for toxic comments. 'I remember getting a comment on my YouTube channel telling me to go drink bleach. I think I was around 20 at the time. That comment has always stuck with me, she admitted.' Sian – who credits her unusual name, which she 'loves', to her mum's influence – grew up as the youngest of three, with her older brother and sister now living abroad. Her father, Philip Walton, is a professional golfer who took the winning putt in the 1995 Ryder Cup, so it's little surprise that she loves to hit the links. Boohoo Pocket And Belt Detail Bandeau Denim Mini Dress €22.00 Very Burberry Oversized Sunglasses – Light Havana Women's Gucci @Brown Thomas Horsebit sandal €750 Hermes Eperon d'Or Bandana Twilly €315 'I do love to play golf – but just for fun! I definitely would love to play it more – I grew up around it. My dad has taught me a lot, and I absolutely love to go to the driving range with him.' The gym has, unsurprisingly, also been a huge part of her life over the last 10 years. 'I wouldn't call it a hobby, more of a lifestyle – I can't imagine my life without it. Not just for the physical benefits but mentally also. 'It's a complete escape for me and it always puts me in the best mood.' Boohoo Structured Satin Skater Mini Dress €32.50 Sian met her boyfriend and 'best friend', Brook Wright, seven years ago and she currently works front of house at his new venture in Swords, The Brook. 'We met in a nightclub in town and just hit it off from there. We are complete opposites if I'm honest! I'm probably a bit too laid back and he's super organised. 'They do say opposites attract. He has always pushed me to be my absolute best and to believe in myself at times when I haven't,' she said of his support. V by VeryDenim Co-Ord High Waist Jeans – Mid Was €52 Boohoo Studded Felt Detail Western Cowboy Hat €16.00 For now, she doesn't know what the future holds; she is just 'taking it day by day'. But despite her glamorous lifestyle, she does see herself on a farm one day. 'Growing up we had hens, a horse, donkey, cats, the list goes on… but I have always wanted to be on TV as well, so who knows!' The Simple Life Say what you will but fun fashion peaked in the early 2000's. And few people encapsulated bright, bubbly fashion like the glamorous double act that was Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie in their mega successful reality show The Simple Life. Pairing neon bikini tops and bandanas with the shortest of denim shorts wasn't out of the question, and flip-flops, low-rise jeans, even high heels for a day on the farm was par for the course. Cowboy hats, hairbands, neck scarfs, and oversized, outrageous totes and sunglasses can all be used to give a nod to to the style icons if you don't feel like going full-Paris. I Dream of Jeanie V by Very Denim Co-Ord Asymmetric Waistcoat – Mid Wash €42 Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle jeans campaign has made denim the outfit du jour. Denim can be both fun and functional – its beauty lies in the fact it's versatile enough to be styled for any occasion. The one thing to consider when choosing a perfect pair of jeans is that body type is all-important. Asos Nike Basketball NBA Unisex LA Lakers Lebron James jersey vest in yellow €83.99. Levis 501® 90's Jeans €84.00 Skinny jeans are flattering for most body types, whilst barrel-leg jeans work particularly well for pear and hourglass silhouettes. Flares can be tricky to pull off so approach with an abundance of caution. But luckily for us ladies, high-waisted jeans have made a massive comeback and are generally flattering for all shapes and sizes. Fest-Fabulous The festival season is in full swing with Electric Picnic just around the corner. So here is a handy guide to all weather festival essentials. Go wild and express yourself – just don't forget to pack a good pair of wellies. It's a time when you can let your hair down and discard the office day wear in favour of something fun, like hot pants and a cowboy hat. Flowy skirts and oversized shirts and sweaters look great in festival photos, and they have the added benefit of keeping you warm if it gets a bit nippy-which let's face it, it usually does in Ireland. A good jacket is essential, preferably one with a hood, while a tote bag fulfils a dual purpose – they hold a lot and look great in pics. Above all, don't forget to pack SPF and sunglasses. The first is always essential and the sunglasses – well, hopefully you'll need them!
