Sky has released the first teaser trailer for its upcoming original legal drama ‘WAR,’ offering a first look at the intense battle between two of London’s most prestigious law firms.

Created by acclaimed writer George Kay (Lupin, Hijack), the eight-part series stars Dominic West, Sienna Miller and Archie Renaux in a gripping courtroom drama where ambition, power and betrayal collide.

The teaser introduces audiences to the cutthroat world of elite legal firms Cathcarts & Sons and Taylor & Byrne, where every case is a war, and every victory comes at a price.

At the centre of the story is ambitious young lawyer Jonathan “Johnny” Warren, played by Archie Renaux (Alien: Romulus, Upgraded), who is drawn into one of the most explosive legal battles in the country. As London’s most influential lawyers clash over a high-profile divorce, Johnny quickly discovers that in this world, ambition is currency, betrayal is strategy and winning is everything.

They face fierce competition from Nina Sosanya as Beatrice “Queen Bea” Ubosi and Pip Torrens as St John Smallwood, the formidable leaders of Cathcarts & Sons.
