Story summary

Actress Sienna Miller, 44, recently got engaged to actor Oli Green. She stars in an upcoming Sky drama series called War, which explores a contentious divorce involving characters played by herself and Dominic West, who plays her ex-husband Morgan Henderson. The series examines how prenuptial agreements, which have been increasing among younger British couples according to Handelsbanken Wealth & Asset Management research showing one in 10 opt for them, are not legally binding or enforceable in England and Wales. At the London premiere of War, Miller expressed reservations about prenups, feeling they undermine the commitment aspect of marriage while acknowledging their prevalence. The series premieres on October 2 in the UK with plans for a second season already greenlit by Sky.
