That gunshot in the Dublin hall still rings in everyone’s ears. One season of House of Guinness slammed the door shut on September 25, 2025, and the whole internet lost its mind. Steven Knight built a wild ride through 1860s Ireland, full of beer money, backstabbing, and brothers who’d sell each other for a bigger brewery. Eight episodes dropped on Netflix, fans binged them in a weekend, and now the only thing anyone wants to know is: season 2, yes or no? Here’s everything we know so far.
A Quick Recap: Why Season 1 Left Everyone Thirsty for More
Quick refresh: Sir Benjamin Guinness kicks the bucket. His kids – Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Benjamin Jr. – fight over the family stout like it’s the last pint on Earth. Arthur (Anthony Boyle) wants to shake up the recipe and maybe start a revolution. Edward (Louis Partridge) just wants to ship crates to America and get richer. Then there’s Sean Rafferty (James Norton) slithering around, plus that nutcase Patrick Cochrane pulling triggers in the finale. Cut to black. Twitter exploded. One guy posted, “Netflix owes us season 2 or we riot in the brewery.” Same energy everywhere.
Is House of Guinness Season 2 Happening?
Netflix plays the silent game for weeks after a launch. House of Guinness cracked the Top 10 in the UK, Ireland, and a handful of other spots, but it’s not Squid Game numbers. Still, that cliffhanger was pure sequel bait. Knight already told The Irish Mirror he’s got story arcs mapped “up to the 1960s.” Cast keeps dropping hints too – Emily Fairn wants Anne to go full rebel, Louis Partridge wants the brothers to team up or tear each other apart harder. Jack Gleeson joked he’ll grow the mustache bigger if they call him back.
Word on the street says an announcement could land before Christmas 2025. Filming in 2026, drop in late 2027 if the gods of streaming smile. No cancellation rumors, just radio silence.
