Netflix announced today that House of Guinness has been renewed for a second season. The news comes nearly a year after the drama released its 8-episode freshman run.

"It was such a joy to bring the Guinness story to the screen, so I'm beyond thrilled to be continuing the story of one of the world's greatest dynasties into Season 2," said creator Steven Knight. "I can't wait to dive deeper into these characters and their complex relationships as they expand the Guinness empire."

Set in the 19th-century, the series is inspired by one of Europe's most famous and enduring dynasties. Following the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness, the man responsible for the extraordinary success of the Guinness brewery, the far-reaching effects impact the fate of his four adult children - Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben - as well as on a group of Dublin characters who work and interact with the phenomenon that is Guinness.

In Season 2, the show will delve into the next chapter for the siblings, along with their spouses, lovers, foes, and friends, like family fixer Sean Rafferty.

"There's so much more to find out about them," said Knight. "We'll see how they grow up because House of Guinness is about a family growing up together. Even in Season 1, they change quite a bit. In Season 2, it will be interesting to see what changes and what stays the same."
