Brought to life by the creator of Lupin and Hijack, War is an upcoming eight-part Sky drama on the “headline-grabbing” divorce between a tech entrepreneur and an international film star.
Dominic West leads the cast as Morgan successful businessman Morgan Henderson with his soon-to-be ex-wife and actress Carla Duval played by Sienna Miller.
