August 6, 2026 by Amie Cranswick

HBO Max has released the first trailer for War, the upcoming legal drama from the creator of Lupin and Hijack, George Kay.

The series centres on two of the most powerful law firms in London as they hired in a high-profile legal battle when a tech entrepreneur and international film star become locked in an explosive divorce.

The cast includes Dominic West, Sienna Miller, Archie Renaux, Phoebe Fox, James McArdle, Nina Sosanya, Pip Torrens, Celia Imrie, Nick Mohammed, Emma Laird, Aran Murphy, Archie Panjabi, Adrian Scarborough, Shaheen Jafargholi, Akiya Henry, Honor Swinton Byrne, Miles Jupp, Kartanya Maynard, Alexandra Mardell, Dylan Murphy, Mark Quartley, and Steve Furst.

The eight-part series delves into the high-stakes lives of London’s most powerful lawyers as firms Cathcarts & Sons and Taylor & Byrne clash over a headline-grabbing legal battle, drawing ambitious young lawyer Jonathan “Johnny” Warren into a ruthless world where ambition is currency, betrayal is strategy and winning is everything.

Series one follows the explosive divorce of British tech entrepreneur Morgan Henderson and international film star Carla Duval, as law firms Cathcarts & Sons and Taylor & Byrne stop at nothing to secure victory for their clients.

War premieres on HBO Max on October 1st, and on Sky on October 2nd.
