Aran Murphy Cast in HBO Sky Drama War With Dominic West, Sienna Miller

Aran Murphy, the 17-year-old son of actor Cillian Murphy and Yvonne McGuinness, is making his television debut in the upcoming HBO and Sky legal drama series "War," which also stars Dominic West and Sienna Miller. The London-based series centers on a high-profile divorce case between two rival law firms, Cathcarts and Taylor & Byrne, and is created by George Kay, with a planned anthology format tackling a new case each season. Aran, who previously appeared in the 2022 film "Lola" and is set to star in Taika Waititi's adaptation of "Klara and the Sun," will play the role of Gabriel in the series. The show features a notable ensemble cast including Celia Imrie and Nick Mohammed, and aims to explore the complexities and personal costs of litigation. While the Murphy family typically maintains privacy, Aran's casting has drawn public interest due to his resemblance to his father and the promising start to his acting career. Production is underway, with a release expected in 2025.
