HBO Max has released an official trailer for it’s upcoming new legal drama called War. In just two weeks we will be introduced to a world of divorce and lawyers.

For those who don’t know, War is a series that tells a story involving the lives of two law firms named Cathcarts & Sons and Taylor & Byrne and the two firms are in a clash dealing with a divorce between two wealthy individuals Morgan Henderson, a British tech entrepreneur and Carla Duval, an international film star.
