House of Guinness star Anthony Boyle has set the record straight.
On 25 September, TV enthusiasts were treated to the highly anticipated historical drama.
Created and written by Steven Knight, the series tells the story of the renowned Guinness family.
The synopsis reads: “Set in 19th-century Dublin and New York, the story begins immediately after the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness, the man responsible for the extraordinary success of the Guinness brewery, and the far-reaching impact of his will on 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.”
Since its release, House of Guinness has received rave reviews from critics and viewers, with many praising the first season for its explosive drama, captivating scripts, stellar production and cast performances.
