Coming to Netflix this week is the historical drama House of Guinness. The eight-episode series follows the Guinness family in the aftermath of brewery mogul Sir Benjamin Guinness’s death, exploring the profound impact of his will on the fate of his four adult children. Set in 19th-century Dublin and New York, the series was filmed across several UK locations, including Manchester, Liverpool and Cheshire.
PGGB Members Gay Anderson, Laura Craig, Geoff Dibben, Elizabeth Hurley and Byungguen Park worked on production, alongside PGGB Partners and Affiliates Salon Rentals, Tysers, Space Studios Manchester, Creative Wales, Sara Putt Associates, Liverpool Film Office, SetKeeper, Team Engine, FTVE Group, Entertainment Partners, Sargent-Disc and Kudos.
Also new in TV this week is season seven of Brassic, which will see the gang get an unmissable send-off, as Vinnie and the crew face their biggest challenge yet. All seven seasons are now available to stream on Sky and NOW.
PGGB Member Spencer Archer worked on the production, alongside PGGB Partners and Affiliates Space Studios Manchester, Media Insurance Brokers Ltd, Sara Putt Associates, SetKeeper, TAG UK, Team Engine, FTVE Group and Entertainment Partners.
