House of Guinness has reportedly been renewed for a second season on Netflix, with production on the period drama set to begin in 2027.
Variety reports that a second season has been green-lit, though when Radio Times approached Netflix for comment, the streamer reiterated that new episodes are yet to be officially announced.
The series, which features a cast led by Anthony Boyle and Louis Partridge, follows the Guinness siblings through the years after their father’s death. Though it ended on a cliffhanger, it’s likely we could expect Emily Fairn, Fionn O’Shea, and James Norton to return for a second outing.
Creator Steven Knight previously told Radio Times that the response to the series was “fantastic”, noting he was “really, really pleased” with the audience response.
“I’m really, really pleased that, first of all, the cast was so fantastic, and I’m pleased on behalf of them, because it’s sort of a generation of fantastic actors,” Knight said. “But to see the response was wonderful. I mean, across the globe. So really pleased with that. And… yeah.”
When asked about a potential season 2, Knight added: “I was just gonna say, I was about to continue then, but I’m not. I can’t speak about that.”
Knight had previously told Radio Times exclusively that he had “obviously thought about where it can go and how far it can go”.
“You always have an ambition to take it all the way,” he said, “but we will see.”

House of Guinness is one of Knight’s many historical dramas, with the writer also the mind behind A Thousand Blows, SAS Rogue Heroes, Taboo and Peaky Blinders, the latter of which is returning for a sequel series.
Earlier this year, the BBC confirmed that a new series, set in the 1950s, will see the role of Tommy Shelby’s eldest son and heir, Erasmus “Duke” Shelby, played by Jamie Bell.
With a decade-long time jump, we will now see an older Duke as he leads the Shelby clan and Peaky Blinders gang into a new future.
The official synopsis reads: “In this new era of Peaky Blinders, a decade after World War Two, the race to rebuild Birmingham becomes a brutal contest of mythical dimensions.
“This is a city of unprecedented opportunity and jeopardy. At its blood-soaked heart is Duke Shelby (Jamie Bell): older, wiser, more ambitious, and most certainly more dangerous.”
House of Guinness is available to stream on Netflix now – sign up from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
