Netflix announced the series - which will explore the history of the family behind the famous brewery - back in March.

The series will chronicle the extraordinary success of the family behind the famous Irish brewery, which was founded back in 1759 by Arthur Guinness.

But behind the story of wealth and prosperity lies a tragic tale of seemingly endless misfortune for the family.

From Tara Browne, who died following a car crash in South Kensington, to scandalous affairs and divorces and the tragic drowning of Honor Uloth aged just 19 in 2020, the family seems to have been dealt a series of devastating blows.

The personal losses faced by the Guinnesses have become so infamous that the company is thought to be 'cursed', despite holding a fortune of over £900million today.

Lord Moyne, Walter Edward Guinness was an Anglo-Irish politician and businessman - but for many he marks the true start of the Guinness curse. 

The Guinness family member was a close friend of Winston Churchill, with the two becoming political allies.  

He served as the British minister of state in the Middle East until November 1944, when he was assassinated by the terror group the Stern Gang in Cairo. 

Lady Henrietta Guinness jumped off a bridge in Umbria, Italy, in 1978 after never recovering from an Aston Martin car crash in the French Riviera.

She is known to have said once: 'If I had been poor, I would have been happy,' seeming to reference the idea that the lives of the Guinnesses have been marred by misfortune and tragic circumstance. 

The legacy of Henrietta's death was followed by another example of the curse that same year - as four-year-old Peter Guinness tragically died in a car crash. 

Creator Steven commented: 'The Guinness dynasty is known the world over – wealth, poverty, power, influence, and great tragedy are all intertwined to create a rich tapestry of material to draw from.

'I've always been fascinated by their stories and am excited to bring the characters to life for the world to see.'
