Ivana Lowell talks about spinning her high-drama family tales into “House of Guinness” with the “Peaky Blinders” creator Steven Knight.

A new Netflix show by the creator of Peaky Blinders fictionalizes the battle for control of the venerable Irish brewing company. Family drama comes to a foamy head in this eight-part series.

The House of Guinness family tree isn't just about who inherited a brewery, but more than that, it is a story of their ambition, reinvention, and connections that travelled far beyond Dublin.
