ITV Plans UK Debut of Australian Series Caught After Two-Year Delay

News summary

The Australian comedy-drama series C*A*U*G*H*T, which follows four Australian soldiers stranded in the fictional war-torn country of Behati-Prinsloo after a failed covert mission, is set to finally be released on ITVX nearly two years after its originally scheduled UK debut was postponed. The show, starring Ben O'Toole, Kick Gurry, Alexander England, Lincoln Younes, Matthew Fox, and featuring Sean Penn as himself, satirizes modern celebrity culture, social media, and the 24-hour news cycle while exploring the high cost of fame. Its UK launch was delayed following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, during which 251 hostages were taken, prompting ITV to postpone the release out of respect for current events. The series was also withdrawn from the MIPCON market in Cannes for the same reason. Now, ITVX is preparing to stream the six-episode series, which has received positive feedback from viewers who had early access. Fans have praised the acting and scripting, indicating a warm reception despite the initial controversy surrounding its postponement.
