Dominic West and Sienna Miller lead the new legal drama WAR, an eight-part series from George Kay (Lupin, Hijack) that is heading exclusively to Hayu from 4 October.
The 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, played by Archie Renaux (Alien: Romulus, Upgraded), into a ruthless world where ambition is currency, betrayal is strategy and winning is everything.
For series one of WAR, Dominic West plays British tech entrepreneur Morgan Henderson, while Sienna Miller stars as international film icon Carla Duval. The pair will be at the centre of an explosive celebrity divorce that becomes the ultimate proving ground for two firms desperate to win.
Joining West and Miller in series one are Phoebe Fox as Serena Byrne and James McArdle as Nicholas Taylor, partners in both life and business at Taylor & Byrne, going head to head with their fierce rivals at Cathcarts & Sons, Nina Sosanya as Beatrice "Queen Bea" Ubosi and Pip Torrens as St John Smallwood.
The ensemble cast is rounded out by 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, giving WAR one of the deepest benches of British talent to hit streaming this year.
WAR premieres exclusively on Hayu on Sunday, 4 October.
