"In a perfect world, I’d like to take it on all the way into the 20th century," he revealed to ScreenRant in September.

"These things are not being announced, this is not decided. But if you look at even a cursory glance at the history of the Guinness family, they keep throwing up these dramas. They keep making these mistakes. They keep doing these wonderful things. So yeah, there’s enough material there to keep us going all the way."

He shared a similar remark in the same month during a screening of the series. "Yes, of course. We are going to do season two, and three, and four. Yes absolutely, we are going to do this all the way to the 1960s," he said, according to The Irish Mirror.
