Sky and HBO greenlit 'War' Season 2 before Season 1 airs

Sky and HBO ordered a second season of 'War' before the first has aired — a straight-to-series renewal, meaning no ratings were waited on. Season 1 of the eight-part legal thriller premieres 1 October on HBO and 2 October on Sky. Season 2 shifts from divorce to a defamation case, retaining the same rival law firms. Sky confirmed the two-series order.
