The creative force behind the global hit Peaky Blinders is back with a new historical drama, as House of Guinness makes its grand debut on Netflix this week. This lavish, eight-part series headlines a week of exciting new content that also includes a Spanish thriller, the return of a dystopian Japanese favorite, a new season of a vampire epic, and the latest installment of a hit reality show.
House of Guinness is poised to be the next big prestige drama, immersing viewers in the opulent and treacherous world of the Guinness family in the 1860s. The series, set in both Dublin and New York, explores the fallout from the death of the family patriarch, which sparks a vicious power struggle among his heirs. It’s a compelling tale of ambition, greed, and the weight of a legacy, crafted with the signature style and intensity that fans of its creator have come to love.
For those seeking a more contemporary thrill, Netflix is also launching Angela, a six-part Spanish mystery. The series follows a woman in a seemingly perfect marriage who learns that her husband is hiding dark secrets. This psychological drama, based on the British show Angela Black, is a tense and twisting story of survival and escape that will keep viewers guessing.
Sci-fi and fantasy are well-represented with the return of two major series. The third season of Alice in Borderland continues its high-stakes narrative, as Arisu is once again forced to compete in a series of deadly games. This season delves deeper into the mysteries of the Borderland and the psychological toll on its unwilling participants. Additionally, Season 2 of Interview With The Vampire becomes available on September 30, continuing its dark and seductive adaptation of Anne Rice’s classic novels.
The week’s lineup is rounded out by the highly anticipated ninth season of Love is Blind, which begins on October 1. Featuring a cast of 32 singles from Detroit, the show will once again test the hypothesis that people can fall in love without ever seeing each other. With its unique premise and potential for high-stakes romance and drama, it’s the perfect binge-watch to cap off the week.
