It has been reported that filming for the second season will begin early next year.

American outlet Variety broke the news, stating that a season two of the historical drama has been greenlit by the streaming service and will begin shooting early next year.

Created by Steven Knight (the maker of Peaky Blinders), the series' opening titles state that it is "a fiction inspired by true stories".

Beginning in 1868 in British-occupied Ireland, the story revolves around the uber-wealthy, Anglo-Irish Guinness family in the wake of its patriarch Benjamin's death.

As the Irish republican movement grows, it soon becomes clear that Benjamin's four squabbling young adult children (played by Anthony Boyle, Emily Fairn, Fionn O'Shea and Louis Partridge) must adapt with the times if they want their family's business to survive and thrive.

The first season of House of Guinness premiered on Netflix on 25 September 2025.

In our review of the show, JOE wrote: "The pilot episode does throw a lot of different characters and information at the viewer, perhaps at the expense of establishing a consistent pace or tone. Indeed, during this opening hour, you may wonder why you are watching a show focused on the Guinness family, as opposed to the Fenian revolutionaries (represented by the excellent Niamh McCormack and Seamus O'Hara).

"That said, the show snaps into focus within the opening moments of episode two. This is when a will reading for Mr Benjamin Guinness spurs on some big revelations to viewers, while also sending each of the four main siblings on their own separate and compelling character arcs.

"Most of the fun of the series is witnessing these individual journeys ping-pong against each other and the changes in Irish society unfolding around them in thrilling, unexpected ways.

"It's clear that creator Steven Knight looked at the broad history of Ireland and the Guinness family, using it as a jumping-off point to craft another one of his now trademark yarns about the clash between commerce, crime and revolution.

"The end result is a show that feels lively and spirited. Watching House of Guinness is like getting a crash course about Ireland's past from a history buff in a pub who has already sunk a few pints of the black stuff.

"Adding to the infectious, almost campy fun is the rollicking anachronistic soundtrack full of the likes of Kneecap and The Mary Wallopers, as well as a supporting cast packed with Irish thespians like Danielle Galligan (for our money, the MVP), Dervla Kirwan, Jack Gleeson and Michael McElhatton, who all know exactly what type of show they are in.

"Plus, the rare non-Irish actors in the cast, like James Norton and Louis Partridge, nail their distinct brogues."

House of Guinness season one ended with a major cliff-hanger. As such, Variety's report of Netflix's S2 renewal will be a welcome relief for fans of the series.
