Jack Gleeson takes up a Victorian avatar for Peaky Blinders creator’s new show

Game of Thrones featured many infamous antagonists, each despised in their own right—from the brutal Ramsay Bolton to the chilling Night King and the cunningly malevolent Cersei Lannister. However, it was King Joffrey Baratheon who truly embodied a character we loved to hate. Jack Gleeson, who brought Joffrey to life on the screen, is poised for a television comeback in the new Netflix series, House Of Guinness.

After the massive success of his show, Peaky Blinders, Steven Knight is working on another period drama, House Of Guinness. Jack Gleeson will play the role of Byron Hughes in the show. The star-studded cast also includes James Norton, Anthony Boyle, Emily Fairn, Niamh McCormack, Seamus O’Hara and Irish actress Dervla Kirwan.
