House of Guinness is a 2025 British biographical drama series directed by Tom Shankland and Mounia Akl, chronicling the fierce inheritance battle that erupts among the adult heirs of the legendary Guinness brewing dynasty after the death of its patriarch, Benjamin Guinness.
What is House of Guinness about?
When the patriarch of one of Britain's most storied industrial fortunes passes away, his carefully crafted will sets his grown children against one another in ways no one anticipated. Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben each carry their own ambitions, grievances, and loyalties — and Benjamin's final decisions force every one of them to reckon with what the family name truly means. Associates and business partners orbiting the vast Guinness empire find themselves drawn into the power struggle as well. The series unfolds across boardrooms, drawing rooms, and private confrontations, revealing how a dynasty built over generations can fracture in a matter of months when succession and wealth collide.
Cast & crew
The ensemble is led by Anthony Boyle and Louis Partridge alongside Emily Fairn, Fionn O'Shea, James Norton, Niamh McCormack, Seamus O'Hara, and Jack Gleeson — the latter widely recognised from his television work. Directors Tom Shankland and Mounia Akl share the helm across the season, each bringing a distinct visual sensibility to this prestige production.
Context & significance
Stories of dynastic wealth, fractured families, and high-stakes inheritance resonate across cultures, and Iranian diaspora viewers have long gravitated toward prestige European drama that mirrors the complexities they recognise from their own multigenerational family histories. House of Guinness arrives in the tradition of character-driven British historical drama — meticulous in period detail, sharp in its portrait of power, and attentive to the human cost of ambition. The series is available on K-Time with full Persian dubbing as well as Persian subtitles, making it equally accessible whether you prefer to watch in your native language or follow along in the original English.
