The new HBO drama War will debut on October 1 at 9 PM. This high-stakes, legal drama follows the 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 (Archie Renaux) into a ruthless world where ambition is currency, betrayal is strategy, and winning is everything. The main story will focus on the explosive divorce of British tech entrepreneur Morgan Henderson (Dominic West) and international film star Carla Duval (Sienna Miller), as Cathcarts & Sons and Taylor & Byrne stop at nothing to secure victory for their clients. The cast includes Celia Imrie.

The adults in that world will be played by Tiffany Thiessen, Devon Sawa, Keegan Connor Tracy and BJ Harrison.

Looks like a Mary Poppins TV series in the works, but rather than retelling the classic story as depicted by Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, the live action TV adaptation plans to go back to P. L.

The Mary Poppins of the novels is often noted for being more mysterious, mercurial and dangerous than her film incarnation and the adventures in the books are magical, surreal and sometimes frightening.
