Building on the ensemble cast, JUSTINE CLARKE, JEREMY LINDSAY TAYLOR and JESSICA DE GOUW will join SEAN PENN, SUSAN SARANDON and MATTHEW FOX in the Stan Original Series C*A*U*G*H*T.
The biggest ensemble of Hollywood and home-grown talent in an Australian original television production, Stan continues to announce additional cast members, with Justine Clarke, Jeremy Lindsay Taylor and Jessica De Gouw joining the series, alongside recently announced cast members Karl Stefanovic, Allison Langdon, Ariel Donoghue, Rob Carlton, Nicholas Hammond and Silvia Colloca.
Our troops aren’t safe. Neither are our DMs. After the Australian Minister of Defence (Erik Thomson) texts a ‘secret file’ to the Princess of Behati-Prinsloo, a small island nation, he sends four Australian soldiers (Gurry, O’Toole, England and Younes) into the war-torn country on a secret mission to retrieve the file.
Mistaken for Americans, they are captured by freedom fighters (Bazzi, Jarnson and Nkono) and produce a hostage video that goes viral. When the soldiers reach celebrity status on social media, they realise that being caught might just be the best thing that could’ve happened to them. They’re about to make search history.
Director, producer and writer Kick Gurry leads the cast alongside Sean Penn, Matthew Fox, Bryan Brown, Ben O’Toole, Lincoln Younes, Alexander England, Susan Sarandon, Mel Jarnson, Fayssal Bazzi and Dorian Nkono. Also starring in the series is Travis Fimmel, Rebecca Breeds, Tuppence Middleton, Bella Heathcote and Erik Thomson.
Following a deal with Fremantle, the series is due to launch exclusively on new streaming service ITVX in the UK in October 2023.
The Stan Original Series C*A*U*G*H*T is created, produced and directed by Kick Gurry. Sean Penn executive produces alongside producers John Schwarz and Michael Schwarz (Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan, Stan Original Film Gold) from Deeper Water Films, and Brendan Donoghue. C*A*U*G*H*T is executive produced by Cailah Scobie and Amanda Duthie for Stan. The series is produced in association with Fremantle, who will also handle international distribution for the series.
