Overview
- HBO released a teaser and first-look images on Thursday, August 6, and confirmed the eight-episode first season will debut on HBO and HBO Max in the U.S. on Thursday, October 1 at 9 p.m. Eastern/Pacific with new episodes airing weekly through November 19.
- The series centers on a headline-grabbing divorce between tech entrepreneur Morgan Henderson and film star Carla Duval, played by Dominic West and Sienna Miller, with Archie Renaux as young lawyer Jonathan “Johnny” Warren caught between rival London firms Cathcarts & Sons and Taylor & Byrne.
- Creator George Kay wrote and executive-produces the show, which is produced by New Pictures and Observatory Pictures in association with Sky and HBO, and will stream on HBO Max in multiple international territories with NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution handling broader sales.
- HBO and Sky greenlit a second season before the first airs and have begun production on a new defamation-centered case that will feature guest stars Marisa Tomei, Kelly Macdonald, and David Harewood.
- The series is designed as a multi-season legal anthology that keeps recurring lawyer characters while rotating high-profile client cases, and it follows a long tradition of British legal dramas being adapted for international and U.S. audiences.
