00:00The brand new historical drama House of Dennis has just landed on Netflix, and the big question is already on
00:06everyone's minds, are we getting a season 2?
00:09The short answer is, not yet.
00:11While Netflix has not officially given the green light for a renewal, don't panic just yet, because it is still
00:17very early days for the series.
00:20This ambitious series comes from the brilliant mind of Stephen Knight, the same creator who gave us the global phenomenon
00:27Peaky Blinders.
00:28Unsurprisingly, House of Dennis scores that same addictive mix of family power struggles, tense political maneuvering, and a healthy dose
00:36of scandal.
00:37It's a story about building an empire, but also about the personal cost of ambition.
00:42Critics are into it, and audiences are curious, but there's a significant catch when it comes to its future.
00:47As is standard practice, Netflix is gonna wait, and see how many people actually watch the show all the way
00:54through before making a call.
00:56Viewer retention is the key metric here.
00:58It's not enough to just start the show.
01:00A large portion of the audience needs to finish it.
01:03The show's timing is also a little tricky.
01:05It launched on September 25th, the exact same day as the highly anticipated Alice in Borderlands Season 3.
01:12And the new series waves, so it's got some tough competition for viewership hours.
01:17The first wave of official viewing data drops on September 30th, and those numbers will likely decide the show's fate.
01:24Season 1 ends on a huge cliffhanger that demands resolution.
01:28In the final moments, the family patriarch, Arthur Dennis, is shot during a political rally.
01:34The screen dramatically cuts to black before we know if he survives, leaving audiences in shock and desperate for answers.
01:42If he does survive, expect Season 2 to dive deep into paranoia, intense power grabs, and a nasty escalating feud
01:49with the rival Cochran family.
01:51If not, the show instantly shifts into a messy and dramatic succession battle with his children, Edward, and Adelaide fighting
02:00to keep control of the Guinness Empire against internal and external threats.
02:05Either path promises high-stakes drama.
02:08Of course, it's not just business.
02:11The personal drama is always bubbling under the surface, ready to explode.
02:15Secret affairs, loveless marriages of convenience, and...
02:20Hidden loyalties threaten to tear the family apart from the inside.
02:23Let's just say, even when they're building empires in America, or trying to do good in Ireland, scandal follows this
02:30family everywhere they go.
02:32So, yes, Season 2 isn't official yet, but if enough people hit play, and, more importantly, stick with it until
02:40the end, Netflix has plenty of story left to tell.
02:44The fate of the Guinness family legacy, at least on our screens, rests with the viewers.
