Michael Gove leads government in simulated Russian war for new Sky TV series

A new Sky TV series, The Wargame, will see a high-profile, cross-party cabinet of former politicians and experts simulate a war with Russia, with former Conservative MP Michael Gove leading the fictional government as prime minister.

The four-part series, produced by The Garden as part of ITV Studios, is based on the Sky podcast of the same name. It will immerse viewers in fictional Cobra-style meetings, depicting the UK’s response to a simulated Russian attack on British soil.
