HBO’s ‘War’ turns a divorce into a legal battle between rival firms

HBO’s War is intended to be an anthology series centred on two rival London law firms, according to the supplied material. The first season focuses on a high-profile couple whose marriage is ending in a contentious divorce. Dominic West and Sienna Miller play the central pair as their personal conflict becomes the drama’s main story.

The series is described as a divorce drama set against the legal world. Its premise combines the competing interests of the two firms with the breakdown of the relationship at the centre of the opening season. The supplied description characterises War as both classy and deliberately trashy, suggesting a polished production built around heightened emotional conflict.

It does not provide further details about the couple’s identities, the firms’ names or the legal dispute. No information is supplied about the series’ episode count, release date, supporting cast or the stories planned for later seasons. The anthology format indicates that subsequent seasons are intended to continue in the same broader world while introducing different stories, but the available material does not explain how that structure will operate.

The first season’s confirmed leads are West and Miller. Their characters’ divorce provides the immediate focus, while the rivalry between the London firms supplies the professional setting. Beyond that premise and casting information, the supplied material does not include a detailed plot, production background or critical assessment.
